I haven't tried enfuse but this image was tone mapped in PS CS2:

http://holeman.org/images/panoramas/lyman%201000h.jpg

It is a 6 X 18 image pano, each image itself a 32 bit hdr stack of eight
exposures bracketing the full lumenance range (144 images total). The stacks
were made using hugin/panotools, an older version, then the pano was made
from the stacks using the same version. I had to do the alignments all
manually, took forever.

I could not find any other tone mapping software that could handle the file
size (1.2 gig) on my windows box, even though it's loaded with ram and has a
dedicated swap drive. If I ever get time I want to run the original images
through hugin to see how it compares.

Is there really anyone using HDR tonemapping to get a viewable panorama
after there was enfuse? I see the necessity of HDR merging to get panoramas
for image based lighting, but I never saw a result of HDR tonemapping
(whatever algorithm) that surpasses an enfused result in terms of natural
appearance except maybe after long tweaking.

Well, of course there are those artificial looking so called "HDR" 
images. But this is an effect that possibly is easier to achieve using some
photoshop or gimp filters...
