I'm sitting on one right now - it's good, but you have to be disciplined
- no slouching, get up and move around every half hour, no resting your
feet on the knee pad. If I'm not careful when I'm coding I can end up in
all sorts of bizarre positions without even realising - feet on the
desk, or cross-legged, or perched sitting on one foot - an endless
source of amusement for other people in the office :) And if I don't get
up and get the circulation going regularly, my butt goes to sleep, which
is a characteristic of the kneeling chair I think.

The biggest thing I've found is it's good NOT to have an arm rest. I
don't have a kneeling chair at the office, I have a normal chair with no
arms. If you rest your arms on the arm rests you're in a really bad
position for typing - as someone said earlier your arms have to "float"
over the keyboard.
