What kind of traction does cells have in the Rails community?

I am commencing a Rails build and have been looking at Cells - seems like a powerful piece of kit. What kind of real traction does cells have in the community at large and is it worth implementing for a site that is likely to have a fairly complex view layer?

There was some discussion about it awhile back, but thats mostly cause the author of the library posted a series of articles about it on rubyflow. It is definately not one of those things everyone uses.

Personally, I don't buy the assertion that partials + helpers are bad, and I think cells is an overly complex solution to most scenarios. I would imagine it would have its place though.
