I probably use it once a week serious, casually once a day. I use it when I want to understand the relationship between classes in the framework from a call path perspective more than anything. It's also great for understanding the relationship between various assemblies which isn't readily available in the framework documentation.

I've had to use it twice: 1) No documentation and hidden functionality regarding the format of MSMQ correlation Id, so I had to look at the source and find what it was 2) For some short period I felt like re-implementing some common control that was sealed, so I looked at the functionality, but then realised there was a better way to do what I wanted I don't legitimately understand how decompiling is so required. What are people doing?
