I have. On a regular basis. There was a line of 75+ folks for the customs exit at DFW last week (and a much, much longer line for immigration) - there was no line, however, for those with Global Entry. I've also seen it at ATL, JFK, and at CVG (where they would stop processing to get a bunch of folks lined up, then walk the dog along the line before starting to process again).
There have been other occasions and airports (including JFK, CVG & MIA) where I've experienced absolutely no delay existing customs. YMMV.
