I've had mine for a couple of months. They're great unless you need to get out really quick and don't have the wherewithall to pull your feel out in the right direction - something I had to get used to after riding loose spds for two years. I've done a couple of supermans with the bike 
which is not fun. But otherwise, they're great - very easy to get into once you get used to them - and they have a great feel.

2 pair - one pair on my MTB, one pair on road bike. I have about 1,500 miles combined this year with Egg Beaters.
Pros - light, cheaper than TIME or Shimano, best mud-shedding possible, 4-sided entry, secure, durable.
Cons - not adjustable.
Simply an amazing pedal.

I just saw some for the first time the other day - I haven't ridden for quite a while, and even then it was only fire trails...
They look very interesting, but I am a little suspicious (although my experience extends to SPD's only) about the ease of location for novice riders, such as myself. Clipping back in after getting/falling off is always awkward for the less experienced, and I think I would stay with my, albeit heavy, platform SPD's for now. If I become really hardcore, and lose like maybe 3 stone in weight (I am a spectacular 15st/96kg)
I may go for some...

I think when my Times pack up, I'll go for a pair 
They look excellent for mud sheding

I have had my Eggbeaters for about 3 months now, got them because my stock 515's were a death-trap. I really can't find any flaw. The release is smooth and consistant, predictable always.
I have had to pedal uphills with 1 foot in before, and I found that I had plenty of platform to ride up the hill.
