Today there are a few (none?) issues at all. Although there are still

Counted?
I meant "a small number" of software (mainly proprietary drivers and
software) is still only available for 32-bits OS. IIRC, Avasys (iscan)
was not available for 64-bits environments not so long ago.
Oh, ok. It's a language thing... :)
There are another apps that, while running fine under 64-bits OS, still
require from the user some "tweaks" (Adobe AIR, Google Picasa, RealAudio
codecs, Skype, upstream releases of Mozilla software...) and some others
do not work at all (i.e., Parallels Workstation).
True. For that, you can (depending on circumstances) either:
a) stay at 32 bits,
b) run a 64 bit kernel on an 32 bit system, or,
b) run a "pure" 64 bit system with 32 bit software in chroot.
