I constantly use overlapping windows.
If I'm tailing a continuous log, I don't need to see the full text of each line, I just need to see when the pattern changes, which I can get by having the first 10 characters peeking out from behind the left of my active window.
My to-do list is big but really the first three words or so are enough to remind me of what each item is; it's behind and to the left of the tailing log.
Finally, I have a few corners of various other apps I'm using poking out all over the place. It's much easier to switch to the window I want by grabbing a corner than alt-tabbing or any other method.
