Yes, I have used it quite a bit to do other things than manage a GUI, 
though a GUI is an excellent example of where this sort of thing comes 
in handy.

Filters are nice, but I have not used them much, FWIW. In certain cases 
they can help quite a bit with performance.

I just reran my own copy of TEST-CELLS and I had to fix just the last 
one. OTOH, I have not been committing lately and am not sure I should 
gven what I have been up to.

If you want help with the latest tarball from CVS on common-lisp.net 
lemme know and I will grab it and and install that to see what is what. 
As I warned you sepearately, this will be a much different Cells than 
the one in Cells-GTk.
