I'm interested in finding ways to use it but when if I'm writing code I really like the spectrum of different answers on stack overflow with comment's on WHY they did it that way. Might use it for boring emails though.
I think my best use case is creating regex just dump a bunch of examples, test if it's wrong and tell them what is wrong
re-builder in Emacs works really good for this because I'll usually have the text in a buffer already that I want to match or replace or adjust or select - I'm constantly using it.
