I'm a long time BC user.
One of my biggest reasons for using BC is that it's about as cross-platform as you can get...
The requirement to run under qt3 has made this almost impossible. The last time I tried installing BC on my Linux box, I was able to do so, but only after jumping through some serious hoops making sure BC used the qt3 32 bit libs.
Today I spent several hours trying to get BC running on my new load 64 bit Arch, and I'm at the point where the benefit is starting to outweigh the cost.
I'm happy to tinker and help troubleshoot. My favorite choice is to have BC "just work."
