I've found it to be incredibly useful however, especially within the context of rake. You can use it to wrap all kinds of operations in a rake command without actually incurring the overhead that would be present if rake were to remain memory resident while the process doing the real work finishes.
I think a lot of newer Ruby programmers are unaware of its existence.
