I am.  I have changed two of my Labels to be "Spam" and "Not Spam", and
have the following rules set up at the top of my filter chain:

Filter "False Negative"
If Label is Spam
And
Pipe Message to Shell Command /usr/bin/bogofilter -S -l returns 0
Then
Move to Folder "Spam"
Stop Processing

Filter "False Positive"
If Label is Not Spam
Then
Shell Command /usr/bin/bogofilter -N
Move to Folder "Inbox"
Stop Processing

Filter "Spam"
If Pipe Message to Shell Command /usr/bin/bogofilter -u returns 0
Then
Move to Folder "Spam"
Stop Processing

The "Spam" filter takes care of regular incoming mail.  If I get 
mail that isn't recognized as spam, I right click on the message,
set its label to Spam, right click again, and hit Apply Filters.
This tells bogofilter to adjust its database to know it's a spam
message.  (In theory, I can label a message in my Spam folder
as Not Spam and send it back to my Inbox, but I don't recall any
false positives ever coming in.)

Thus far I've gotten fairly good performance from bogofilter;
on any given day it recognizes from 1/3 to 2/3 of the spam I get.
At some point I need to wire in SpamAssassin for the belt-and-braces
approach...
