PS CS3 is a good app IMO, but it's definitely beta for a reason.
One crash (two?) so far that taught me a lesson.
One instance where a background document was active, and I couldn't get the program to let me work on the foremost window.
Type Tool seems occasionally supper-sluggish.
More?

BTW: I realize there is a forum for reporting bugs in CS3 Beta... it's just difficult to describe the exact circumstances surrounding a crash. Feels like a crash is a crash.
Not sure if it's flakey enough to default back to CS2 for professional uses--or whether the existence of both versions might make flakiness more likely.
Regardless, LOVE the CS3.

I had a nasty crash after forgetting the "beta" status. I won't make that mistake again.
Overall its very stable for a beta, a few bugs make it hard to use full-time, though.
The RAW converter is fantastic, the interface a little too Windoze-ey for me.
Lots of hidden gems, more than a few disappointments.
The Adobe engineers keep saying they held back some key features from the beta, I hope this pans out in the final release.
I really wanted the dark-grey interface like the new Bridge has, the garish light-grey GUI gets in the way. Word from the engineers is "maybe next upgrade" Bah.
So far I'm mixed. I always benefit from the improvements almost instantly, but wonder if the Adobe machine is really in touch with it's core users.
The new Bridge is most excellent.
