I've seen companies who build on Force.com use it for <we need a standalone application that does X because Force.com can't do it or we have teams that don't know Apex but want to do X> and then integrate it against. They have an interesting (albeit not sure if it ever got fully fleshed out) bi-directional DB sync between SFDC and Heroku Postgres, which to me is the killer app for integration.
