I've used it _alot_ especially for scripting. Really powerful support for quickly write dynamic code to run transformations, connect to db's, connect to mq's etc. It's easier to read than python (for me) and you can just drop a lib in groovy_home for support to whatever dbdriver (like oracle). Seriously give it a go, before you call it senseless. But you know, use what you know and what you can be effective with to solve a given problem.
