I only use it when I'm bored and want to be surprised with something I never knew was on my computer... so pretty much never.
 
Nope, have never used it. Can't work out why anyone would, unless they've got a very small number of files. But for anyone who does anything serious on their computer, it's largely useless. If I know where to get to something, I go to the folder directly. Otherwise, I search using Spotlight.
 
This screenshot shows the problem with "All My Files" and this is on a system with much fewer files than my main computer! (No photos, videos, or music on this one.)
