I've used a few straight up in my B/X game and I used a number of ideas from MoM when creating new monsters for my FTF 4e game last year.

So far I haven't used anyone else's monsters yet (that I can recall), but that's because I was DMing a low-level party. I think I wrote most of the really low-level critters, like tunnel prawn and such.

(...and while you're there, if you could get the hardcover OSRIC back up there, it'd be much appreciated )

stranger fixed both of these yesterday, FYI.

I've used a bunch. I've had other DMs use them on me as well. The problem is the same, this is a really small market (1E AD&D retro) and 1E "by tradition" is all about people making their own stuff (unlike 2E). Compare the publishing volume of early TSR to Late TSR (in number of products offered). Also, I think a fair number of buyers of retro stuff don't actually post online anyware (espl. not about what the use), so its going to be tuff data to get.
