Chad, We're using it at CIS Vancouver. I'm one of 4 a pipeline tds developing the core backbone of the studio. Whenever we need to write something for maya that ties into the pipeline we push pymel, It's pretty powerful. The only frustration we've had with it is figuring out how to do something, there are a lot of one liners that aren't necessarily apparent. I haven't taken a look yet, but I'm guessing the new docs will greatly reduce these frustrations.
All in all, your work is great!
