I have only heard one complaint about the boost library: code size. Since I have never used it personally, I can neither confirm nor deny this as a real issue. It probably is a non-issue for PC development.

Yeah, boost is pretty nice.  It's not the be-all end-all, but it does a
fantastic job of show-casing the power of C++ to be a better language
through libraries (rather than language features).  What's more
interesting to me is the stuff that has made it from boost to Technical
Report 1, and is available in C++ as std::tr1.
