We use them here at the University of Oregon.  Why do you ask?  Are you 
thinking of adding some capability for Eclipse/Java to interact with 
Environment Modules?  For those who are unaware:

http://modules.sourceforge.net/

I've found the python interface, envmod.py, to be very useful in writing 
regression tests that iterate over compilers and mpi implementations.
