As regular self-loading freight on 145s, I have to say I like them. They seem to give a much more sprightly performance that the B737 series - I recall one particular tight descending turn into Bristol over Weston SM where the guy in front of me thought we were going to spiral into the Bristol Channel.
Only complaint is that as I am 6ft 3" the cabin head room is poor, and cabin baggage room is minimal (awkward when you like to travel with cabin only bag).
I do recall one high wind landing at EDI that was 'interesting' - movement on all three axises
