My experience with compact fluorescents is mixed. Some are better than others about instantaneously being on. Some will flicker when the switch is first flipped. In an area where you want/need instant light for safety, etc., this could be an issue.
I find it a minor inconvenience. The major inconvenience is the difficulty in trying to get them to fit into some ceiling fixtures with globes and under certain lamp shades. You may have to try a couple different sizes. I have yet to have on burn out under normal use (nightstand, etc.). I am slowly working on converting all the fixtures in the house to them - they make excellent gifts.
