Several tools in ubuntu —GNU/Linux in general— use those fields, but they may not show by default. Also, as Patrick said, (piwigo ….and most other) web albums can and do use those fields. Again, maybe not showing them by default.
When doing a workshop, using the style option in the export module to put relevant data on the image (by way of the watermark module, and possibly the frame module), is quite useful. I do find however that, for most clients, they do not care much about metadata as I do. One thing I do notice is that tools which use Exiftool may not treat certain metadata the same as some tools which use Exiv2. That is to say, all tools can show the relevant data when asked to show all data, but when asked to show a brief summary, may consider “Description” to be important, while “Comment” is not, and the other vice versa. Ergo, I fill in as much metadata as possible. When it comes to photojournalism and stock photography, I strongly suggest that one fills in as much IPTC data as possible, (in addition to the usual EXIF/XMP data). Many stock photography sites and news organisations look there first.
