You still see Leftys in the cross country and 24 hour race circuit. They work just fine and hold up to some hardassed racing (some of the 24 hour guys are REALLY fast).
I rode one and didn't like it. It worked very nicely, but I kept staring at the front wheel. I run into enough things when I'm watching the trail, so this was a deal breaker for me and I wound up with traditional two-legged forks.
