I am not terribly fond of present tense in general, but I wouldn't rule something out just because it's present tense. I find it distracting because unless or until I get swept up in the story, I keep wondering just why the author chose it.
I put down Halting State by Charles Stross because of it, and I usually enjoy his stuff a lot.
