We use it in our applications. It is used indeed as a catch-all 
exception handler (I'm not a fan, but ok), but a useful use we also have 
that we use it as a debug device to get more insight into what events 
are send around the system, monitoring a set of objects and a set of 
event types and outputting them. Sure, that's not a common use case and 
can be done differently, but we have used/abused notifiy for these.
