Does 64-bit make much difference to the average user right now... NO
Will it eventually?... YES!!!
Anybody ready to go back and run a 16 or 8 bit processor?
I just wish BlitzBasic would run under, say Fedora 64 bit. I have 32 bit machines I can develop with (and do, I'm not here to knock BlitzBasic!), but my apps work hand in hand with, and are developed together with, hardware.
Get a couple o' things like 3d Cadd, Schematic/simulate package, PC board layout, BlitzBasic, FPGA development environment, Microcontroller development environment and a browser (or two or three) to look up parts, Windows AND Linux VMs to test on, and YES, it makes a difference!
