Lots of people I drive beside from the N.E. to the south keep going over towards Douglasdale/Mckenzie and further areas. I have taken Stoney a few times and it is wide open and looks like most are not aware of it. For me being closer to Macleod it is not quite as handy but way less traffic.

You pretty much have to live near one of the access points to Stoney and work close to Stoney, otherwise the extra distance exceeds the amount of time you crawl in traffic on Deerfoot. I worked in Foothills Industial and live near the 52st access to Stoney. There was zero time savings by taking Stoney and it just added more km to my car.
