We use a modified version (asynchronous rather than synchronous, to avoid the 
performance hit) for production databases, and have periodic tests to make sure 
that all is well.  It does make life somewhat easier for DBAs, since storage 
and system admins are responsible for failing over the storage.  Virtual IPs 
are in place so that no changes to TNS service names are needed.  DBAs need 
only bring up the instances on the DR servers and hand over to application 
owners for checkouts. Once testing is over, the failback procedure is the 
reverse of failover.

Has anyone used SRDF instead of dataguard to manage a failover site? Anyone 
have any opinions of it?
