I know a lot people who don't know or have problems compiling
coreboot on their own or they don't want to spent hours to compiling the
toolchain + coreboot. For these people rom-o-matic is a nice thing.

German hacker culture likes coreboot a lot. Last coreboot user
group meeting a journalist showed up. Someone spent her a x60 and she
would like to have coreboot on it. But after disassembling the hardware
down to the board itself, it turns out, she already got coreboot. I
never looked at the x60 bios booting up :).

There are also the cryptoparty people, they also support coreboot.
zaolin is doing installation partys at his hackerspace, too. And may
others do the same.
