I think it's a bad idea - LEDs would be a much better replacement. A lot less energy, and sod all heat from them. And a nice, bright white light.

Until bayonet-fit LED bulbs become easily available, and until LED replacements for flouro tubes don't cost an arm and a leg and don't require you to rewire the fitting, we'll be sticking with CFL bulbs.

There was talk of migraine sufferers still being able to get incandescent bulbs, as apparently CFLs can trigger or make worse migraines. Thankfully they are not one of my triggers (normal flouro bulbs on their last legs do make me ill though).

Actually, what I'd really like is something that puts out the light of a halogen, and the heat of an LED - I love the light from halogen bulbs, but I'm really not so keen on the heat!
