I treat it like salt. Not in quantity (because it's easy to overdo it) but I add a little, stir, taste, and repeat until I'm happy with where it's at.
If you add too much it will linger on your palate too long and sometimes in food where the flavours are unbalanced or somehow "off", I have found that the msg can exacerbate this.
I think that the best way of using it is to be sparing at first but you'll get the hang of using it quickly. Overdoing it a couple of times is probably the best way to figure out where the line between deliciously umami and too much msg is.
