Looking forward to using it when it will be available for the public. Although it's not completely 'zero fees' as creating a payment channel and withdrawing money from it will have fees involved, it will be negligible compared to the current miner fees situation. Lets hope this solves most of the issues and then nobody will be able to raise scalability concerns anymore.

I have always been concerned about this matter, did not expect to really be developed, wait and see what will happen after :)
