Well, in my opinion, everything really is fantastic right now.
Pulseaudio interacts perfectly with jack, pulseaudio doesn't screw
up jack in any way (as far as I can remember observing), and
all programs using jack, alsa or pulseaudio make sound, simultaneously,
without any notable latencies issues with alsa programs. Maybe
I was lucky, and I'm probably not a newbie either, but at least
I'm not _pretending_ everything is fantastic: it really is.

A person coming directly from win/mac probably wouldn't have 
succeeded though, since jack needed to be configured and
I had to manually install the pulseaudio jack sink, edit
various files in /etc/, plus perhaps doing other stuff
I don't remember anymore.
