I have LW Pro for Mac to support some commercial distros of our stuff, but our supported functionality is mainly web based for deployment, so we really don't use CAPI ourselves. I know one of our customers did use it though, and got some nice results. Let me know if you would like to be in touch with him.
For IDE I use Slime these days for all the Lisps we work with, including with LW. The LW IDE is nice, and it's nice to know it is there for customers who might be emacs-phobic, but I prefer to stick with Slime, for sake of consistency.

I use Lispworks extensively, including the IDE and the GUI library (CAPI).
The lispworks IDE is so well integrated that I have no desire to go back to emacs[1]. In fact, when I tried SBCL and slime recently, I was deeply disappointed (maybe someone needs to give me a tour :-).
I lean on the visual stepper and inspector a lot.
Is your question about CAPI or about the IDE?
CAPI is a sensibly designed and very powerful library for building GUI's.
pt
[1] I do keep emacs around for non-lisp activity, and, for the fact that its regex-replace stuff is very powerful (and familiar to me after a few decades). Once in a while, I have to make a mass-edit to a lisp program that is easier in emacs.
