Keep in mind it's still pretty new - the latest external package is the
first to include a language reference, for example.

There are people using it outside of IBM, although we don't keep any formal
track. Most of the ones I know of are at the prototype/playing
around/investigating stage, but some are doing fullscale production work.

It's gone through a lot of development over the past few years. For a
timeline, check out the news/announcements section of the Cover Pages entry
for DITA: http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/dita.html
