I use Live View more than half the time, but almost never hand held. One of my uses that I think may be somewhat foreign to the DSLR users is to have the camera mounted loosely (vertical and horizontal) on the tripod with the handle out the back similar to a video set up – handle in one hand and remote in the other. Half press to focus, compose, and shoot. This allows me to position the camera other than at face level and/or off to the side. It is not convenient for zooming. While just waiting, I'm not holding on to anything.

Everyone should also be aware that there are many types/features of Live View and not to judge by the limitations of only one type.
