I've been toying with the idea of adding IronPython for extending a scientific application I support.

Is this a good or horrible idea?

Are there any good examples of IronPython being used in a production application. I've seen Resolver, which is kind of cute. Are there any other apps out there?

What I don't get is this. Is it any easier to use IronPython than to just use something like code DOM to create script like extensibility in your application?

Anyone have some horror stories or tales of glorious success with IronPython / IronRuby?
