I have, and do, use it successfully.
I don't feed my tower mounted rotary beams
with it. I feed other antennas  with open wire
transmission line and know of a situation where
an antenna on the top of the mountain needed to
be used by a station in the valley (more than 2 
miles away) and 900 ohm 'twin-lead' made it 
possible.
