I found it much less reliable, if by reliable you mean not losing
data.  There's a questionable GUI feature that throws up a
[Disconnect] window whenever a normal unix system would say 'not
responding still trying', but so long as you ignore this window
instead of pressing what seems to be the only button, the old Unix
feature of ``server can reboot without losing client writes'' seems to
still be there.  SMB, not so much.

There's also questions of case sensitivity, locking, being mounted at
boot time rather than login time, accomodating more than one user.
I've also heard SMB is far slower.

The Macs I've switched to automounted NFS are causing me less trouble.

If you are in a ``share almost everything'' situation, just add

 umask 000

to /etc/launchd.conf and reboot.
