I have been using recutils with orgmode for more than year - still 
learning of course. So far, my experience has been fine. I am still 
developing some sort of standard databases, e.g. one for contacts, 
another for finance type of records, etc.

Have you checked out the two recutils mailing lists? Not very active at 
the moment. I mentioned in those lists that perhaps some sort of capture 
much like org-capture might be useful, but have made no further effort 
in that regards.

I picked up a excellent pointers as to using recutils to create org-mode 
tables from Jose Marchesi's and Eric Shulte's ob-rec.el discussion on 
this list back in 2011. I ultimately export the tables and related text 
to LaTeXpdf docs.

A few months ago I added recutils or "rec" to the Babel:languages, Emacs 
Package section - still haven't provided an example though. (It may have 
been Eric who encouraged me to post my entry to Worg, but at the moment 
I cannot recall for sure.)
