is_admin() should be working perfectly fine, as core uses it.
You canot use template conditionals in global scope in functions.php
however, This is not possible due to the theme being included earlier than
WordPress has determined what type of query it is.
Try using them at a later stage in the loading process and you'll find
they work, Using a custom function is REQUIRED, and cannot be worked
around if you want to use it within functions.php. An example is:
add_action('template_redirect', '_theme_comment_reply');
function _theme_comment_reply() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
}
Alternativly, You can use them at a later stage, Such as within your
header.php file before any output occurs. At this point WordPress has
determined what the request is, and the conditionals will be populated.

OK, something simple and straightforward ...
Let's say I want to create an admin settings page. I have the code
loaded in
a separate file, and want to use the functions.php file to include it,
but
there's no need to load the code into memory when viewing the front-end
(non-admin). So, I wrap the include in conditional tags ...
<?php
if(!is_admin())
require_once(TEMPLATEPATH.'/admin_menu.php');
?>
That code does NOT work.
Or, let's say I want to move the comment reply script call from the
header.php to the functions.php, where it really belongs ...
<?php
if(is_singular())
wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
?>
See? And please don't tell me to write a custom function and use hooks.
That's not the issue here. The issue is the fact that conditionals aren't
working properly. I'm almost positive that this used to work, which is
why
I'm wondering why it's not working now.

Could you be more specific about what you're trying to do? I wouldn't
expect them to work when the theme's functions.php file is included,
for example, because that happens before the page query is even
parsed.
