We lay our project's stories into sprints using Trello. Previously, we had used physical cards. However, while all of our developers are located out of one office, we have stakeholders beyond the US that never felt fully-involved with physical cards. Trello enhances their feeling of control and visibility into the project. And, for those times where somebody works from home, the impact is zero.
We also track story progress (analysis, development, testing, business approval, etc.) on a second board. Previously, we had used a spreadsheet. Trello's support for quickly copying/moving cards and notifying board members of changes are powerful.
For our stories, each card description is structured as "[story number] [story points] [story summary]". Would it be nice if Trello "natively" supported these attributes? Sure, but it doesn't hinder our use.
In my mind, a great sign of Trello's awesomeness is that our use of it has grown organically. While waiting for others in the company to take Rally/Mingle/etc. through the discussion, evaluation, install, etc. process, I just started a board on Trello one day and watched it work for us. :)
