Hi spiffytech in my experience:

1.- Yes I use it, mostly for intranet apps.
2.- Well... difficult question...
3.- It's really easy (if the customer has its own server), if not, you have
to look for a good one.
4.- If the customer knows something about programming he says 'wow', if the
customer knows about old school system development, I mean, Java, Struts,
ASP (not asp.net), or plain PHP, he just says: "NO", and if the customer
doesn't know too much about development and he asks you to see the source,
He isn't going to believe you that that's the code (because is so clean and
cute, and almost all people think about a good system with large code and a
nightmare of java frameworks)
5.- Almost every customer doesn't care about what you use, they care about
having a good solution in a short time.

So in general I recommend you to use web2py for freelance or not for
freelance jobs. It's a nice framework, in fact a beautiful one.
