Yes, I'm using one for some time now. Integrated into PAM (login/sudo) 
and a little script to activate the screen saver when the yubikey is 
removed.

I'm also using it with PasswordSafe 
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/?source=navbar) and an 
Android port of it (via NFC)

My employer started using it as part of the `pass phrase' for a VPN setup.

Things seem to work ok, at least what I tried so far.
