I do and I've got it.

While it's very good, and even better value for money, and I do use it a
lot under OS/2 and NT, it's not bug free and some of the postscript I
write / generate is pretty demanding; I think I'll go for a commercial
PS interpreter. Off board postscript interpetation will free up
resources on my machines too.
