Yes, I use GDEVs extensively and am converting the numerous VLV & MTR blocks that uninformed engineers have built over the years. There are numerous advantages to GDEV, not least of which is STAIND for bitmapping to display elements. However, I really wish there was 3-state capability. As I stated earlier, many of our block valves have closed, open & half-open, and there's no way to accomplish this with a single block. We use a CALC coupled with 2 CINs for valve limits & 2 COUTs for solenoids. I suppose if all the valves were wired differently, I could use MCIN & MCOUT, but that's not the case ... aaargh.
