Do non-Hasidic (i.e., Litvak/Yeshivish) and Hasidic dynasties other than Chabad (i.e., Satmar, Ger, Bobov, Breslov, etc.) ever study the Tanya?
And have their leaders ever commented on the Tanya regarding whether it was worthwhile to study it?

I have heard that many hasidic groups study Tanya. In fact, in 1983 there was a famous incident in which an esteemed Lubavitch teacher, Rabbi Pinchas Korf, was teaching Tanya to Satmar students, but some in the Satmar establishment wanted the students to learn it only from Satmar teachers.
