I was chatting with a guy while waiting for my bike at the local Trek shop, & he said that the lefty was the best performing fork he ever had, but that it only lasted him just under one year before needing a rebuild so he sold it. I don't know how he rides, how often he rides, or anyone else with a lefty fork to attest to their reliability, but that's the only story I've heard about them so I thought I'd share.
