1. How well did it work?
2. If it worked OK, how come other manufacturers didn't copy the circuit

Unfortunately, RC is just a cheaper substitution of a damper diode. It could give worse horizontal linearity, especially at the left part of the screen, and less range of hor.size control. The point is the diode damper actually helps to sweep the beginning of the lines reversing the stored magnetic energy back to the deflection coils, but RC just wastes it into the heat.
