I don't _use_ wine on -current, but I can tell you the brief experience
that caused me to give up on it.
I wanted to install wine to run Crimson Editor, which is a fairly nice
text editor for windows. There's no Linux or BSD version. The wine website
claims that Crimson works under wine.
I spent about 4 or 5 hours trying to get Crimson to install and/or run. While
I was at it, I tried a number of other wine apps to see if I was doing things
correctly. I tried Getting America's Army to work, even Windows explorer or
IE. The only thing I ever got to run under wine was puTTY ... which is one
Windows app I have absolutely zero use for.
Eventually, I gave up on wine and cleaned all traces of it from my HDD. YMMV,
but I thought I'd throw my $.02 in.
