I just use F11 to hide all windows, or if I need one app hidden, I use command+H, or command+tab if the app I need is also open or something.

I use it quite a lot, it's useful when you're looking at naughty websites. :)

I just like using hide so that I do not have a bunch of stuff cluttering up my dock when I minimize.. so I hide instead :)

I use it all the time, so when i click my scroll wheel it acts as the COMMAND+H hotkey.. its great instead of minimizing and is faster than expose. Also you can use it to hide porn.... just like expose!

Kids these days.

Back when I was your age, we didn't have any of this "exposé" or "minimize" nonsense. Heck, WindowShade was a shareware control panel. We hid our apps, and we liked it.
