The only CFL that I don't like is the PAR30 spot light bulb that I have in a recessed like bath vent fan, it takes over a minute for that light to come up to brightness and for the first 20 seconds it hardly glows, I need to find another brand to try out as this is too long for a bath room, you could be in and out before you can see, I've left it on a few times because it got turned on and the light never got brighter then the light coming in the window before I left the room, if I could find the box I would return that bulb and try another brand in there.
Aside from that single application I love CFL's, every light in my house has one other then a ceiling fan that takes a small based 60 watt bulb, I'm sure they will come out with one that will fit in there soon.
I too have a box of CFL's so I can try a number of them in each light and find the color and brightness that works best for that room.
