It depends.  Even under experimental, the apps are usually fairly
stable.  The problems usually occur in the less commonly used arches
and/or with the maintainer scripts.  I know I am dodging your question,
but it depends.  I formerly used expermiental for X4.3 (before it went
into Sid), OpenOffice, the new Evolution, and a few others and never
once experienced breakage.  Though, there was the occasional upgrade
hiccup.

A newbie question here, where should I point the sources.list file to in order to be able to install Sid and experimental? Thanks.
 
Sorry Roberto, I mistakenly replied same question to you instead of to the mailing list, sorry about that.:p Unfortunately in Gmail, I can't simply press "r" to reply to the mailing list, which seems always replying to the one who posts the message:( I have to press "a" to do a reply all, but in that case mailing list address is in CC, and the poster address is in To, still not what I wanted:(
