I used it for various portions of a chess game: 
  http://www.worldchessnetwork.com

Specifically, I used BCB 6.0 for the "WCN Web" and "WCN Audio"
portions.  I've done quite a bit on porting the main game itself to
BCB, but that isn't available to the pubic yet.

Why BCB vs. VC++?  Here are four of the reasons:

1)  I like it better.  
2)  Port was from Borland's OWL, so Borland to Borland made sense
3)  MFC doesn't seem (to me) to have much future, but .NET is to young
for my taste.  And the runtime download would be a problem for our
customers.  Of course, since that time CBX has muddied the waters.  I
don't know what I'd do if I were making the same decisions today.
4)  M$ has enough money already.

Note that my software don't use any DirectAnything, so I can't comment
on that aspect of BCB.
