Yes. One non-work-related example I'm working on is a guild management
system for online roleplaying games (http://zgms.sourceforge.net/).

Without going into too much self-promotion, so far, the object DB is
letting me get the same results as a relational DB. For example,
instead of doing some SQL query do get a single-column list of
languages in the game, I just define a lines property on a top-level
game folder and examine it.
