Have you ever actually used TM? In any serious projects that sees a sigificant benefit from it?

I ask because several people are bullish on TM here but everything still appears to be totally handwavy as though there has been no learning about it since 1993, *or* people have been keeping secret all their great success with TM.

A fallback is absolutely required for TLE.
