I've built a couple of Erlang web apps at work. Both were built with Yaws rather than ErlyWeb, because ErlyWeb doesn't (yet?) have built-in support for SOAP, REST and XML-RPC - that doesn't mean I couldn't have used ErlyWeb, but it didn't offer any advantage over Yaws in this respect.
I felt the experience was a lot like building apps using Microsoft's ASP.NET model. I've done quite a bit of work with Ruby on Rails, and my guess is that ErlyWeb would be a lot more like Rails development. My reason for choosing Erlang as the language was for the speed and scalability - my Web app was built to drive performance tests, and it was FAR more scalable than anything else I've used. I'll keep using Erlang for this purpose when the need arises. I know MochiWeb exists as another Erlang Web framework, but I haven't used it yet. There is a new video that covers building a simple Web app using MochiWeb, but I don't have the URL handy. Google for Mochiweb, Erlang, and Webcast and you should be able to track it down.
