I can vouch for this. I use a Blackberry wall-wart type charger for my Pi, and it's been rock solid. I only power it down it when I'm off travelling someplace for more than a day.

Of course if you never plug anything in, it will stay up for a long time. The problem arises when there are things being plugged in and out.

Many USB devices don't work with the Pi. It's pretty picky.

I have a 1 TB USB HDD plugged in at all times (separately powered though), which acts as my NAS.
