I agree with others as a debugging, problem resolution, and research tool. I especially like how you can create a panel with documentation, debug values, and much more. I could triage a problem, and then ship it off to a developer for fixing. I would be sure they could see the problem since all the necessary data is right there. Using it as a code editor though would require more work I think. If it has support for ERD, UML, and other such tools, that would be very compelling as a development tool.
