Mr. FakePoll,

With respect to NServiceBus usage, there are currently over 900 members in the discussion group with many more who use it but aren't on the discussion group. A poll was also put up about how people are using NServiceBus with 137 respondents (so far) here[^]. 19% reported their projects being in production and stable for more than 3 months. Usage of NServiceBus spans almost all industries from government, finance, insurance, telcomm, retail, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, media, as well as software as a service.

While I wouldn't say that there is greater adoption in terms of pure numbers than of BizTalk, sources at Microsoft have been mentioning the decreasing adoption of BizTalk as problematic. Many of my clients have reached the scalability limits of BizTalk, and after moving to NServiceBus, have seen much improved performance requiring far fewer machines. I've seen similar things with non-Microsoft options like Sonic MQ and Neuron.

On the "one man show" thing, there are currently 7 committers on NServiceBus and support is provided for free by the very active 900 members of the community. Training on NServiceBus is available worldwide currently by 2 certified trainers in addition to myself. Many other consulting companies are providing professional services to clients interested in using NServiceBus for their distributed systems.

While I agree that adoption of open-source technology needs to be done carefully, there are enough examples of Microsoft killing its own technologies leaving companies just as stuck (CAB, Linq2Sql, Sql Server Notification Services, etc). My recommendation is that companies evaluate NServiceBus alongside other choices and choose the technology that best fits their architecture and cost profile.
