We had a thermostat that was just plain confusing to program, plus it was damned ugly.

I am not sure if the Nest has saved me any money but it looks a lot nicer on the wall than our old thermostat, and really is nice and easy to use!

I still find myself showing it off when friends come to visit...need to stop doing that probably. :-)

That (looks nice and fun) is the only reason I kick around the idea of getting a Nest. Living in San Diego, there's not much reason for a thermostat. It does get chilly in the winter, but we use firewood to heat the house. We use the A/C maybe two weeks a year. But that UI sure looks nice.
