Yeah, I don't need it often but the sort of problem it solves is very hard to solve otherwise. It is useful for when you know something is wrong and you have an easy way to check if the problem is there but when you don't know what the actual cause of the problem is.
The most obvious usage is for checking if the build passes. This is something easy to do with tools but hard to know why (or when) it began to fail.
