I bet for: no, never. In fact, since its appearance, I have heard just a little about it. I know just a few people who use it, and I just tried it once or twice... And it didn't give me the answer I wanted.

Looks like it is only useful for plotting hearts: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=first+heart+curve

Good question. I think WA is pretty awesome for what it does - like tell me how many calories my breakfast was - http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2+eggs+5+pancakes+4+bac...

I like how DDG is using it and could see Google doing the same, but I wonder if they would just make their own version of it.
