Some folks notice flicker more than others I think. And then there're manufacturing differences in the brands.

The two I've got I've put in rarely used/night light type situations. I didn't notice the flicker with my emergency lantern/nightlights, but these bulbs aimed at incandescent replacements it's troublesome.

If you look at an incandescent bulb and then an LED bulb you can see the difference.

Have you noticed much flicker with the CREE Ursus?

They certainly are about ten times the price at first glance that I paid through Newegg for my 40W equivalents so they should be quality!

I tried a Foreverlamp brand and a Shenzhen Light Source Lighting Co. brand bulb. Both have the flicker, the warmer Forever lamp slightly less then the cool light Shenzhen. I could see using something with that kind of flicker as an outdoor light I suppose, but not for indoor normal use.

Ah I see you can get the CREE at better prices than Home Depot by far if you look a little furtner. That's good. Whew.

I do not have any LED bulbs, but some friends do.  They received a few from their power company as a promotion.  As far as they are concerned, they are no different that incandescent or CFL bulbs, as far as day-to-day usage is concerned.  Of course, they don't really notice any energy savings because they only have two or three of the LED bulbs.

I do have two small nightlights that are each powered with a single LED.  Like my friends, I received these from a promotion my power company was running.  I don't notice any flickering, and they give off plenty of light for my needs.  What is nice about them is, unlike my old nightlights, I don't have to worry about buying little nightlight replacement bulbs every couple of months.
