When you say "scared", I hope the code didn't look that bad! (I mean, I thought you might be talking about the power it could unleash). No, we don't use it for production at all. Yes, we use it for development only. I like that I can edit in Vim and invoke an ant target to compile and hotswap my changes into the app. When I don't actually need a debugger and don't want to fire up Eclipse, I use this instead. I'd be happy to attach whatever license is required.
