It's been a nice experiment, and I'm satisfied that it can be done, but I'm not sure that it would ever become my preferred commuting bike. I'd still like to try commuting on a fixed gear, just for the heck of it.
I used to ride my fixed gear bicycles nearly 10,000 km a year when I had a longer commute... never had so little maintainence to do in my life.
