I use devfs too - at work(debian sid) and at home(debian woody). For
esoteric hardware which isn't supported in the main kernel it's nice as
you don't have to pretend it's a different type of device to give it any
device numbers. I had problems getting sound to work with it, but I was
also changing to ALSA at the same time. I was in one of those "going with
the way of the future" moods.
