How bad is it, really?  Considering that the apps I use are pretty much
restricted to the stuff that comes out of the box with OS X, plus stuff
I compile myself, plus Safari and Photoshop Elements, plus a few little
shareware doodads that I could live without, just how painful can I
expect it to be?

Sadly, I don't have a sacrificial Mac to experiment with - the Cube is
also my wireless base-station, and my iBook is the machine I use the
most interactively.  Maybe when I get a job I can celebrate by getting
a shiny new Mac and then trying to break it :-)
