I do use my cameras (the ones with motors) on continuous all the time,
but rarely just "rattling off" shots. It just lets me do quick succession of
_timed_ by myself shots without having to let the finger off the
shutter button as in single mode. And the faster the motor the better,
because it lets me do a second shot right immediately (at exactly
chosen moment) the first when I see the first one didn't quite make
it.

But sometimes, the technology really deters (?) from making pictures.
Or making great pictures. But it does depend on the photographer, I
think.
