A question came up today inquiring about a design my company has recently completed. There is currently in the design an option to reset the form on one of the pages. Does anyone have any opinions on the usefulness of that feature, or statistics on whether or not people use it?

Luke Wroblewski argues that "actions like Reset and Cancel are unnecessary and should be either removed or de-emphasized in the user interface to avoid mistakes."

I tend to agree. However, I think Cancel can be useful. Thoughts on form resetting, cancel options and usability?
