Lots of people do use Swift, both with and without the rest of
OpenStack (even stand-alone it can be a great high-performance
object store independent of other services). Lots of other people
use Ceph's RadosGW API to mimic popular parts of the Swift API
because they're already using Ceph for related things in their
environment and don't want the added complexity of running both Ceph
and Swift. It's up to you to decide which best fits your and your
users' needs.

Just be aware that if you don't run actual Swift in your
environment, it doesn't qualify for use of the OpenStack Powered
Platform or OpenStack Powered Object Storage trademarks[*], if that
matters to you at all. RadosGW and Ceph are not OpenStack services,
even though they're often used in combination with OpenStack
services. "Proper" (from the Interop WG's perspective) full
deployments of the OpenStack platform are expected to provide the
actual Swift API to end users, not a substitute like Ceph's RadosGW.
