Chris, the possibilities when using ICE are so endless, that all nodes are
fair game. Hard to narrow it down to just a few, especially with a lot of
the heavy duty ICE users. Just have a look at the vast repository on rray.de

Yes materials are not closed entities like they are in Softimage. Also,
if you need to make the shader tree easier to read, there is an option
to filter by current selection, so that the tree will only show
materials that are assigned to the current selection.
