I have. I find that it's very valuable to know what you're at risk for so you can plan appropriately. Of course, I was not at-risk for anything serious so it was not hard for me to cope with the results. I can see how coping with very bad results could be extremely difficult though... it's a tough choice if you are a more emotional person.
I think that a lot of programmers are probably more cold and logical in their thinking (like me) so it was a pretty easy choice for me.
My wife is a lot more emotional and I have tried to convince her to get 23andMe but she refuses because she doesn't want to know.
This isn't uncommon. I do MRI scans on those genetically at risk of breast malignancy regularly and encounter this a fair bit. If the gene is found it radically alters things - number of children, their timing, mastectomy +/- oophorectomy, financial plans etc. It isn't for everyone.
