I don't tend to use it extensively, but I find it much easier to work out things, especially graphical things, when I can doodle it on some paper rather than having to type it into notepad. For example, yesterday I was working out how to generate a mesh of triangles and needed to work out the vertex indices. It was quicker to doodle a net of triangles and note number them than to try and do it on the computer. It's probably because I'm a very visual thinker. It's also easier to work out an equation on paper than on a computer when I've got fractions and powers and stuff that are annoying at best to represent in plain text
