IIRC, widely. However I have to admit, my last encounter with RCS dates
back to more than a decade, so ... ;)

Well, my point is "lack of a userbase", "availability of clients on
different platforms", "integration in IDEs", "VCS providers offering it"
So far, I have never tripped over a major project which is actively
using bzr nor have I ever met a user using it :)

Or differently: Don't underestimate the "familiarity factor" when
launching a new archive.

More generally speaking, I'd claim, nowadays, 
* older projects with a long history tend to use CVS (with a strong
tendency to switch to SVN),
* most projects dating back several years use SVN, 
* many newer (often Linux focused) projects use git.
* mercurial is on the loose
* bzr never made it out of its niche

The big question however is: What are the OP's use-cases.
