I've used it - in production, released at a number of sites. It works as well as any other (have been an Oracle consultant for many years).
For smaller sites with hundreds of users it does everything you could ask. It's very easy to manage - a single DB file. It has a great admin tool available - IB Expert, as good as TOAD in most ways.
Probably hits some limits if you're looking at very high transaction loads (>1000TPS), or very large (multi TB) but really for every day use you can't do better.
It used to be owned by Borland, I believe, but open source now. It has strong ties to the Delphi community and is very easy to use from there.
Edit: And yes like you I don't understand why its not well known. Probably a victim of Borland anti-marketing
