yep - i am not saying there are no cases for using it, but use of it is always worth looking at.
Great! Glad you recognized the fact it can have some valid usecases
"I don't like the use case" is different than "useless."
The fact that you don't say what the usecase actually is kind of spoils your poiny
Where it's commonly used is not its use-case. It can be used for a number of other cases.
As noted in other comment(s), there are legit uses for this.
That's a good point. It still seems like an odd use-case!
Maybe. But this is not an edge case. I consider this genuine use of the marketed tool.
I can see that, but it really depends on your use case. There are many instances where this can come in handy. But perhaps I can re-work the wording!
Misunderstanding, maybe? You were responding to an absolute. I’m pointing out there’s plenty of use cases besides that.
