I've used it as well, and like the coarse grades as an alternative to sphagnum and the finer grades as an alternative to peat. It is durable, lightweight, airy, and drains freely, while also retaining some moisture, and is probably more environmentally friendly than sphagnum/peat.
Citrus seeds germinate well in pure coir (I've used coarse, but finer grades would probably work as well), but I imagine it might be low in nutrients and allow leaching, so once they are ~3 inches I pot them up using a mix:
2 parts coarse coir (or partially composted, shredded palm fronds; see below)
1 part pea-sized wood charcoal;
3 parts semi-composted fine wood chips;
and 2 parts vegetable/leaf compost.
The finer grade coir works well for starting vegetable seeds and would be good for use with cuttings, as well, I would think. Coir also works pretty well for air layering.
If you (or a neighbor/friend) happen to have palms, chopped up and partially composted palm fronds can also serve the same purpose as coir or sphagnum/peat. They also work well for orchids.
