Cmd-H seems very underused to me, even by Mac power users. The reason might be that many recent Mac users are converts from Windows or Linux, where the concept of hiding an app doesn't exist. I love and extensively use this feature since I started using Macs about 25+ years ago. It's so much more convenient than minimizing an app's window(s) into the dock, and it's so nicely complemented by the app switcher.

These days, my Dock is basically only key apps, 2 printer aliases and a few folders I access regularly. A .weblocation might from time to time, but these are fairly infrequent.
