The protocol or the mode? The protocol is still used to access old
network hardware, or terminal servers which allow connections to
serial console ports. The mode is useful because it give me an emacs
buffer where normal emacs commands work, unlike term-mode; also I
basically never need any support for VT100 escape sequences in those
buffers.
