I have clients who use it quite happily (so I've used it, but haven't administered it), and PLT seems to be using it quite successfully. I like some of the distributed systems myself (Darcs is nice), and I hardly think the anti-bitkeeper arguments apply in the case of a project like Schematics, but I'm not convinced that a distributed system would add enough value in this case to be worth bothering with.
