With the availability of a 80Gbps model and upcoming updates to the routing process (in RouterOS 7), chances are these boxes will drag much more attention in the next 2-3 years. Still, it looks like their products are widely used in developping countries where cheap hardware and flexible / low power requirements (you'd run a CCR1009 off a car battery for a solid 2 weeks - no regulator needed) makes them the only viable choice. I know of at least a dozen ISP running these as well, here in western Europe. It solved many space and power issues in dense carrier hotels, and is a cheap and efficient way out of a 6500/7600 (in sub 20Gbps scenarios) based network. I wouldn't sell transit or provide criticial services with a mikrotik-based network just yet, mostly for the lack of enough personnal confidence and experience with them, but havin endured nights of debugging with poor quality code in recent major player's routers, I doubt they're as misfits as you suggest.
