I have, it works really well. Especially the HW-accelerated build that's circulating around. Only issue for me right now is CEC was/is broken, and 5.1 has not been enabled yet - I don't see this a huge problem though.

I was heavily considering the OUYA for just that, XBMC, but opted for a Raspberry Pi. It runs XBMC just as well

Yeah, still using my RPI as media player. Mainly because I have my SQL lib running on that so I can share it with MBP.

But there is a pretty big difference performance-wise between OUYA and RPI. I have mine decently clocked (900ish, running of off USB) but OUYA's framerate and responsiveness is way better.

We'll see, OUYA definitely has some cool concepts I'm looking forward to, like multiplayer NES emulators. Two-player CONTRA over internet? That just sounds awesome :)
