I use it without any major problems on Windows, and in past on Linux, but never on OSX. The only glitch I've struck is if the two computers have different monitor size/resolution, the window geometry values that calibre saves could be cockeyed when you switch to using the other computer.
The View Manager plugin will help with this. I also switch between two devices with different screen resolutions (a Windows 10 laptop and a Surface Pro tablet) and I had the plugin save two separate views with different column widths, one for my laptop and one for my tablet. Now I just switch the views too after switching the devices and all looks perfect.
