In fact I seldom use it, but at times I use it to get an overview. One important thing to realize if you rely too exclusively on customize-apropos (or on other apropos commands for that matter) is that the buffer produced by customize-apropos does _not_ contain all customizable options, faces and groups matching your regexp, but _only_ those that are loaded. This is a weakness of all the apropos functions. On the other hand, customize-browse will load everything as needed. Sincerely, Luc.
