Without generics any number of libraries that utilize generic function blocks - Func [1] in C#, Callable [2] in Java, etc., and do things like return the function's type parameter as a method result, would not be possible. This is exceedingly common, at least in libraries. If you want to know how common, let me refer you to my friend http://google.com http://google.com.
