I have used it... specifically the v. 3.0 Community edition which is provided with VS 2005.
Personally, I found that in order to tame it down to a free "Community Edition", they disabled the most important features, thus rendering the whole Obfuscation thing toothless. The lack of these features makes the process of obfuscation a joke because the CE only does basic renaming of types. Some features which I felt were sorely missed were : a) Generics support b) String encryption c) Integration with VS. Additionally, they make sure to provide the full fledged UI (while disabled) which can make it confusing for a newbie until he/she "gets it". I've used a lot of Shareware in my time and the conventional way is to provide a different UI for trial versions. Either way, it should be clear that "this feature is only available in the xx version." Due to these reasons, I haven't really "used" it... just experimented a bit with it back in 2006.
