We used it on a project I was on 8+ months ago. I was focussing on the UI so didn't have that much to do with it, but now I'm learning RIA Services on the project I'm on. I wish we'd used RIA Services then but you get that.
Also, the dependency on CSLA stopped them from updating to Silverlight 4 for a while as CSLS hadn't been updated to support 4. Not sure if thats changed I'm assuming it has. Just pointing out the extra third party dependency is a double edged sword.
