I think you just described 90% of people who use them. Normally I like having a better grasp of the underlying theory I'm applying, but somehow quaternions seem more likely to make me think, yeah I'll eventually get around to that... instead of diving right in as this article I believe better motivates.

And then you forget about them because...well, it's not like this stuff requires maintenance. Once you abstract all rotations and interpolations away, you just use them and forget you don't really grasp why they work.
