I have. There is quite a bit to do but it is definitely evolving pretty quickly. The team has been very helpful and accommodating.
If you use Shotgun and haven't written a bridge between it and your infrastructure, then I would recommend looking into Tank. In short it handles folder creation, schema templating, context awareness and like I mentioned before provides the bridge between these things, Shotgun and your various software platforms. It also comes down to the size of the development team you are able to maintain internally and the turn around time you would expect to get a system in place. It's taken us awhile to get everything in place, but we are overhauling our entire pipeline from server setup, naming conventions, implementing Shotgun, developer workflow, source control technology, code deployment, artist tools and more. If you have some or most of these things already in place, but need a better way to integrate your pipeline with Shotgun and various software platforms then I think you can get Tank up and running pretty quickly. In the end you aren't just paying for the framework, you are also paying for the continued development and support. They are handling integration with a lot of different software platforms like Photoshop, 3dsmax, Maya, Softimage, Nuke, Hiero, etc. This is definitely very useful if you don't have the development team or individuals with the experience all the various software to code your own integration. As more studios adopt it, hopefully we'll see more cross studio collaboration. In the end I guess it all depends on your situation whether it would be useful for you or worth it's cost. For us, with not having a solid system in place and transitioning to Shotgun, I have found it to be a great head start and very useful. I also look forward to being able to take advantage of the continued support and development. Hope that helps!
