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 shell with jq

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.
- 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).
