I have used the canvas a lot (bought the book too!) and found it an useful tool to externalize the thoughts in my head and make them concrete on paper. It's not a silver bullet though and you can create amazing canvases that ultimately lead nowhere. I believe the reason why I'm not using the business model canvas anymore is because I've internalized most of its core principles and find it much easier to write down the core aspects of a business model in a text file. Much easier and less meaningless meta work (finding the right online tool, strictly following the canvas when it doesn't make sense in many industries/niches).
