Yes to both.  His techniques showed me a better idea on how I wanted to implement my (more complex, hierarchical) state machines.  And, I implement reactive systems as a bunch of communicating state machines that fire one-way events at each other.  As you point out, this devolves into a "stackless" (in fact 1 stack (per core)) set of coroutines.
