But on a serious note, I really want to see Gyp become more popular, for the simple reason that integrating multiple Gyp projects is essentially zero-effort.

It's a beautiful way of working, even though Gyp certainly has room for improvement.

AFAIK, Gyp's biggest user is Google (Chromium uses it, and maybe others). Are there any non-Google projects that use it?

In addition to the big google projects using it (Chromium, V8, WebRTC/jingle, etc), there's also Joyent's Node.js (and forks, + numerous node packages containing native code), as well as numerous private projects that I've been involved with. Unfortunately, it hasn't taken off too much in the open source community apart from the above mentioned big name projects. Better documentation and more visibility could probably make that happen, though.
