I have not but I have used other monobaths before.  They are convenient,
but allow no control over gamma or really any part of the characteristic
curve.  Most of them are inherently very compensating because the development
is limited by the fixation.  If you like that look, good.  Otherwise not so
good.

The Air Force was very big on monobath processing for aerial film back in
Vietnam, because temperature and time were not very critical and for people 
developing film in tents in the middle of a grassy field it reduced the
handling considerably and got film out to analysts faster.  Most of the 
monobath technology we have today came out of the space program and the Air 
Force.

If you're in an environment where you can't get even processing, and I can
see a lot of folks hand-processing motion picture film by rewind or in
a bucket having that problem, the monobath could be a big help.  On the 
other hand, so could a divided developer like Diafine.
