I don't like present tense a whole lot. I remember reading a science fiction book once that was set under the sea (published sometime in the 1990s) and it annoyed the hell out of me. I also remember reading a book on writing once where the author said that past tense (paradoxically) has a sense of immediacy, whereas present tense tends to remove the reader from the action.
That said, I have used it occasionally, but I think it really depends on the story.
