In the campaign I'm running as a DM, out of three players, two have multiclassed: they started both at 1st level, a half orc barbarian and a dex based elf fighter. At 2nd level, the barbarian has taken a level as a paladin and the elf has taken a level as a cleric, war domain. The player of the elf is a great optimizer and a great min maxer, but he's also a very nice guy, who plays very well and very narratively at the table. The player of the barbarian is a great storyteller as a master, and has woven a great backstory for his character, that beautifully blends with the multiclassing choice. I'm very happy as a master with their multiclassing, because it adds good elements to the story, besides making their characters more powerful and interesting.
The half orc barbarian/paladin complains because using the RAW his character can't have the heavy armour proficiency, but that's it, since, at least for the moment, I'm sticking to the RAW.
In my other group, in which I'm a player, a player who plays a human dragon blood sorcerer at 7th level took a level as a bard, and I, too, played for a while with the idea of taking a level as a bard (I'm playing a high elf paladin oath of the ancient), but then I stuck to the paladin class.
