WebDAV is the greatest! It's used in just about everything now, even Microsoft uses it bigtime! It's for distributed web authoring and versioning, but the versioning part isn't complete yet.
As a system administrator one of the things I love about it, is the ability to allow users access to their websites without setting up a user account on the system. All authentication and the knowledge of the user is through the web server which means a much tighter security schema. It's used quite extensively as a distributed file system and this is what I primarily use it for. I setup a webdav system and allow users to map/mount a drive to it through Microsoft and Linux and there is much joyousnous.
