Jessie sufficiently stable for general use?

In the next month or so I will have to do a clean OS installation in
two desktops. Jessie is now frozen (Debian's contribution to retarding
global warming?); and there are apparently fewer RC bugs at this point
after the freeze than there were at the same point in time after the
freezing of previous releases.

I see that RC1 of Jessie is now available.  I would consequently
appreciate opinions as to whether Jessie is now or will be by mid
April sufficiently stable for such installations, or should I install
Wheezy instead and upgrade to Jessie when it is officially declared
stable?

I would much prefer the one step approach -- install Jessie within two
months and live with non RC bugs for a while -- to the two step
approach -- Wheezy now and upgrade to Jessie six months later more or
less.  Perhaps when I get around to those installations there may be a
further RC release of Jessie?

Regards, Ken
