citeproc-ruby is manly 'used' by other projects, so here, too, it's difficult 
to say how many actual users there are. There is a wiki list of projects using 
bibtex-ruby (*) many of which will use citeproc-ruby as well. In addition, I've 
heard from the Berkman Center and a number of university departments; mostly 
citeproc-ruby seems to be used to format citations on websites.

Finally, you can look at the ruby gem download statistics here:
