I'm not, yet, but I suspect others are.  The only "real world" 
application I've tested so far is JUnit's TestRunner, which is working 
but subject to some issues.  Here is a screen shot (slightly out of 
date, the icon alignment on the tabs has been dealt with, for example, 
as well as the bugs that caused the five test failures):

After I finish my current task (a first pass through implementing the 
javax.swing.plaf.metal.* package, which is close to 90% API coverage 
now, with MetalFileChooserUI being the biggest remaining piece of work), 
I'll start looking at some more real Swing applications.

Absolutely.  I expect running JEdit will help to flush out a lot of bugs 
in our implementation, and getting it working properly will be a *major* 
milestone.

Me too!  I encourage you to join in and help make this happen.
