I am very happy with the productivity gain and it is a joy to use 
compared to ilisp and the LispWorks GUI.

See my recent reply regarding remote controlling LispWorks.

I have had to kill -9 XEmacs a few times after it ceased to respond to 
mouse or keyboard input. I haven't seen it for the last week or two 
though. I recall that it usually (always?) happened immediately after 
hitting tab in the repl while running cmucl18e locally.

Personally I am happy with cvs access for now.
For 1.0 and later versions OpenBSD packages and RPM would be fine.
