Jamis, and everyone who's worked on Capistrano, I just wanted to say a quick thanks for such a great tool. I've built deploy setups with other language tools (i.e. stuff for Java, PHP, etc.), and Cap is just so much nicer.
Today we are deploying, in a single "deploy" to over 50 machines, with multiple Rails apps in that deploy, various custom rules, dynamic configuration of databases, Mongrel, Nginx, etc. We do use Rake to aggregate the multiple Rails app deploys, but it pretty much amounts to simply looping through them (it also handles if one fails, rolling back any that already succeeded; Cap's rollback is a great feature!). But, the ability to type one command to get it all deployed is awesome, especially when working with so many machines. I should note that we also have about a half dozen different "staging" environments or server clusters that we deploy to (the 50+ machine one is the production cluster, most of the others only have a handful of machines :) We do not use the new staging extensions, but I will likely look into that later to see if it offers advantage over the solution we have now. Cap 2 has made things easier, and has really allowed us to get this setup dialed.
