My list:
Use a lot --
Multisegment metering and program (or Hyper Program, depending on the
camera) for grabbing shots quickly
Exposure compensation (especially with the digitals, to reproduce
low-light scenes as darker than average)
Spotmeter and Centre-weighted metering for those trickier metering
situations
Av mode
Less often --
Autobracketing
Tv mode
TTL flash
Autofocus
Rarely --
Autoexposure lock (prefer manual exposure in those situations because it
has no time limit)
Mirror lockup
Self timer for reasons other than mirror prefire
Even more rarely --
Multiple exposure
Never so far in spite of having three or four cameras that can do it --
Intervalometer
