What do you mean, "how well?"  I was doing development on an SE/30 for a
while--i.e. it works for me ;-).  8MB of RAM is plenty.  You don't want to
run X on the internal display, but at least a couple of display cards can
cause problems.

I haven't used it personally, but it seems to be well-supported and
useful ;-)
