Do you use the WordDumb calibre plugin to generate X-Ray files?

Do you use the WordDumb calibre plugin to generate X-Ray files or Word Wise files or EPUB footnotes? If so, please respond to this poll. Multiple selections are allowed, but for the purposes of this poll I consider all the No selections to be mutually exclusive and that any Yes selection means that none of the No selections apply. Please respect that interpretation. "Do you use WordDumb" means that you have used WordDumb to generate files and popped up the notes several times while reading the book and might do so again some time unless you are inclined not to do so again.

I think that it's a great tool, smart and well executed, I just don't think that it's bringing anything to the table that I personally need. If I encounter a word that I don't understand, I use a dictionary, and If I need to wiki something, I use a browser. Either in Koreader or on a phone. I'm not a fan of x-ray features. That goes for both WordDumb or official Kindle x-ray. They've managed to spoil stories in a few cases that I've used them.
