I'm slowly switching over CFL's, and in my opinion, the new breed of bulbs is quite good. I'm using GE 60W equivalents right now, which are quite compact, and I'm quite pleased with them.
One of the best things about them is if you have an aquarium, you can use a cheap incadescent hood, instead of being bent over for a decent flourescent setup (flourescent hoods are stupid expensive for what you get) (well, OK, the whole hobby is a bit stupid expensive, but what can you do...)
