The rear face camera is a nice extra feature, does not hurt in my opinion if you have it. You can take pictures of your room or surroundings and send that to your boss in case you work on the road; good examples are Realtors, Insurance estimators or even Doctors.
The front face or screen camera is of course good if you are doing face to face meetings or conference. That one has less resolution and does not need flash. If you are out traveling and away from family, you can also use it and chat with wife or kids ;-) ...
You will start seeing more and more cameras in today's gadget because is an important tool to share multimedia: take videos, pictures, etc. Even Apple, based on what I read recently, started to realize that and rumors are that a rear face camera will be included on new iPad release.
Now, having said that and even when they are a nice feature or extra, they do not replace professional cameras. If you are a serious photographer or you are web graphic designer, you should rely on a dedicated camera instead. Much more options and control over the picture and hence much better quality, especially under poor light conditions.
