What use cases are you using it for? I haven't used it a ton, but I've found the UI to be clunkly and somewhat difficult to figure out compared to using the sh

  I use it for deobfuscation, decryption, base64 en/decode and and sometimes just for converting hex to readable strings or vice versa via copy paste and no effort. It can switch up endianness, sort out network packet data, etc. For even less effort there is a MAGIC function where you just dump some bytes (sometimes with a from/to hex block first) and it tries to make sense of them for you. It saves me writing custom C or Python scripts every time I want to manipulate or analyze some data.

  I use it for parsing/formatting out text data instead of Excel because I don't have access to a shell and my JavaScript is rusty enough that it is quicker to put regexes in CyberChef than use jsfiddle. Before I found it I was using an online regex tool for that; simple dedupe, and line counting made it worthwhile shifting.

  others have commented, but it's really pretty varied. - literally yesterday used it for building a payload for a vuln that used a java deserialization vulnerability against a known private key for AES encryption. I built the serialized payload using ysoserial as per normal, but then b64 encoded that, then encrypted with the known key and urlencoded the final output.. then I can simply hand that off to curl or burp or whatever. - sometimes it's as simple as other said, encode/decode chains of various formats -- it's just faster especially if I'm not sure how it was encoded, but I recognize particular patterns (e.g.: url encode, b64 super easy to recognize visually, so plug and play of recipes makes it fast to try stuff out and tune).
