I had one and never used it much until recently. I'm in the "only use it if you need to camp". It has given my problems with 9mm in the past deforming the base of the bullet.

My new barrel on my 1911 has a very tight chamber though, tight to the point that a round that perfectly fits the factory barrel and my P90's barrel will fit very tightly and sometimes cause a FTRB jam. To combat this I have seperated my seating and crimping steps as others have done and now that every round passes through the FCD the problem is a thing of the past.

Saying it is a waste of time just means it is a waste of time to you. It was a waste of time for thousands of rounds for me as well, but not anymore.
