I haven't.  Others have.

Webalizer is free.  Unless you get the stripped down version it costs at
least..oh $200 a site or $500 for 25 sites, more for more sites.  Why not
just go to http://www.urchin.com/products/index.html and view the sample
reports and do the same for Webalizer?  Webalizer doesn't do nearly as much,
but unless you're a large ecommerce company selling widgets I have to say
that Webalizer is probably enough for 95% of the companies out there.
Unless your goal for your website is to have cool reports.  Mine is for my
sites to accomplish their goal and for the reports to help me make
decisions.  Knowing how many people with IE browsers looked at a specific
page on the average Tuesday isn't too useful to me (pretty extreme example,
but you get the idea).  YMMV.
