Despite holding grassroots appeal among guerrilla IT workers fed up with IT's sluggish responses to their requests, Google Apps' traction in the enterprise remains overblown.

Maybe it has not been useful for your company and business sector (yet?), but Google Apps is already used a lot where I work at, for example, so it is certainly mature and useful for us. And like I said, I know many other similar work places where they already use Google Apps a lot too.
