The strong usage case is Transmission-daemon+Clutch that allows the user easily controls Transmission-daemon through a Web GUI without running Transmission(gtk GUI). Another usage case is the example in the manpage,
transmission-remote -x -l ssh jade transmission-proxy It can list all the torrent tasks on jade using proxy command. In brief the ordinary user would like to choose the favorite front-end to connect with Transmission-daemon which means less resources.
