Yes, we use it for system testing extensively here. Our QE test automation group writes tests using MbUnit and a custom web testing framework quite similar to Watin. This solution has worked pretty well for two years now.
Suprisingly system testing is not very well handled by many of the tools out there. Generally you're stuck either writing ad-hoc scripts (possibly with a proprietary platform) or else shoehorning tests into an xUnit derivative. MbUnit is perhaps better than most in that department in part because of its extensive support for data-driven testing. It does have limitations. For example, it is somewhat difficult to represent performance tests and load tests currently. I am actively working to support more effective system testing in the next generation of MbUnit. I'd love to hear your suggestions and concerns in that area!

With the release of Watin, I've been looking at porting our Ruby / Watir system tests to C#. So far the most difficult problem has been finding a test framework to replace a custom Ruby test runner. Specifically, I've been trying to locate a test framework that supports controlled order of test execution and conditional execution of tests depending on the success of other tests. Although MbUnit doesn't fully support this functionality, it looks like the DependsOnAttribute and the AssemblyCleanup attributes should be sufficient in simulating these features. Does it sound like MbUnit is the right test framework for me or should I be looking at a different test framework?
