Yes I have used it recently. WLED is a joke for anything other than 1-dimensional arrays. It's the way the pixels are addressed and mapped in 2 dimensions that is the problem with WLED. It's especially difficult if your "grid" is anything but an exact square or rectangle, with skipped pixels, or multiple mapped areas, etc. I found it all to be extremely frustrating and a badly designed system. I tried WLED to see what the fuss was all about, and I was not at all impressed. I have my own LED mapping system that works with 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D pixel mapped arrays, with arbitrarily placed pixels being simple to work with. Of course this is not what WLED was designed to do, and it shows. The 2-D mapping in WLED seems like a bolted-on hack.
