I've used M/S in a small, less than perfect room and LOVED it. I decoded by recording the two mics as a stereo track, then using the free Kelly Industries StereoTools VST. I love that VST; use it all the time. Besides M/S decoding, I strap it across the output buss for mono and phase reversal checks a mouse click away.

I've found two good uses for it in my world... acoustic guitars, and group background vox.
