I have been running Devuan jessie on my desktop since the first Alpha
was available. I also run it as my production desktop at my workplace
where I manage Linux servers and write software. This means I have a
wide variety of software installed on my desktop to do everything from
filling out "TPS reports" (LibreOffice), to Email/Web/Caldav (Firefox,
Thunderbird, Lightning), to various IDE environments (Android Studio,
Eclipse)

Devuan works, and works surprisingly well. I've had more downtime on
the Ubuntu 14.04 servers running simple LAMP stacks in the last year
than I've had on my Devuan desktop loaded with all the heavy application
software.

Another good reason to give it a try is the community around this mailing
list. It's one of the best behaved I've ever seen and seems to consist of
a wide collective of experience.
