I think it is only useful in a couple cases and it is definitely not often. For example I think it is just better to run a
treecommand with the options that one may need.Its meant for files one does not remember they are there, or for a quick view of a directory one does not know the contents.
Don't know if that makes sense to your, but that is the best I can explain it.
