I've heard of in-house apps being done with XUL. I'm not aware of any used by the general public, other than Firefox.

To be a successful cross-platform development environment, there would have to be lots of these. To my knowledge, only web apps are that widespread and used by the general public, not primarily for in-house apps.

Does Songbird count? I think ActiveState's IDE's are XUL too, but it seesm devs are generally more willing to accept cross-platform apps.

Miro and the eMusic Downloader should count, too.
