The most prominent of the "interesting uses" probably beeing when the views
are part of the authorization system, since views are the only standardized
mechanism to restrict access at the row level. Imho not to be neglected.
(user xxx is only allowed to manipulate rows that belong to his department,
so he is only granted access to a view, not the main table)
