I use it moderately often. When typing scientific and mathematical papers, I often would like to type greek letters interspersed with regular latin ones. My preferred way to do this is to have a key which acts like a "greek-shift" key. So, I have an alternate (greek) keyboard layout set up, and while I hold down caps lock (the chosen key), anything I type is as if I were using a greek keyboard. Like this: λογος. I also like to use λ when programming in Scheme, because typing out lambda all the time is a pain. So I do

(define λ lambda)
