The previous office I worked in had a bunch of Capisco chairs. I hated them, personally, but a lot of people loved them.
The only "ergonomic" chair I've ever like is another chair by Capisco's designer, Peter Opsvik, called Balans, now made by Varier [1]. It's a kneeling chair that rocks and supposedly forces you to exercise your core and maintain a good posture. It's fairly expensive ($400) for such a simple piece of wood, but you can find cheaper used ones on eBay.
Opsvik designed some crazy chairs. My favourite crazy chair of all time is his Globe chair [2]. The Gravity Balans is also weird, but probably great.
