Sure, I can't suspend or power off properly but it uses so little power at idle compared to my old ION 330 I'm happy to just leaving it running and just switch off my LCD TV and amp.
Same here, i know the suspend/shut down issues are a big deal for some, which is fine, but as i'm happy to leave it on, I never intended it to be turned off from the moment i got it, there are no other problems to speak of. The gotham nightlies are pretty much flawless, any issues i've had have been down to me doing something wrong rather than a fault. Personally, i could not want a more perfect unit to run XBMC/Openelec. If i had to change anything, it would be to get a fanless aluminium case, my NUC is in a cabinet with some other equipment and it does get hot, and while I cant hear the fan screaming away when the door is closed, I can't imagine that constant heat will be good for it, but apart from that, its great!
