OFW is used on the OLPC laptops. This is probably due mostly to the
influence of the OLPC firmware lead Mitch Bradley, who invented Open
Firmware. That platform is probably not going to create an OFW job
market, since it has no expansion capability at the firmware level
(just USB and SD).
It would be interesting to hear the history of EFI. I doubt its
creators (Intel?) did any sort of survey for existing alternatives
like OFW.
