So anyone used this? Looks like a cool alternative to ZBrush for painting/sculpting normal maps and other high poly organic stuff, or even some non-organic stuff thanks to stencils.

I've tried it, like it a lot - definitely the nicest digital sculpting app I've tried yet.
The only thing stopping me from buying the full version is ZBrush 3 - it's released in a month or so, and judging from the preview video, it's looking like a huge leap over ZBrush 2.
I definitely prefer sculpting apps though over traditional 3D apps - feels like a much more natural way to model.
We got one Mudbox license at work - after testing we liked it more than ZBrush (v2).
