Last I checked (a month or so ago), it seemed to work fine, has a couple of Python 2.4-isms, but was generally great. I was surprised that it didn't appear to make it onto the list of officially-sanctioned backends (e.g. in the "save" button on the toolbar, IIRC). I found it really useful for making vectorized figures with alpha for inclusion in a pdflatex document. (Is that possible going via an (e)ps route?) When I get back to that manuscript (ahem), I'll probably try to bang the PDF backend further into shape. What bits need to be added/fixed? Is the PDF backend TODO list documented anywhere? where?
