Hmm, well, to be honest I bought the Pro & Pencil because my tablet broke... So my primary use is for art. (;-.-) it's really really good for art, though!
But, I definitely find myself using it for pretty much everything... even typing! That's what I'm doing right now, lol.
When it's in your hand it feels really natural to use, even better than fingers. I'd compare it to the difference between using a DS (or 3DS) with a stylus and with a finger- strictly speaking you don't NEED to do it, but it makes things a lot easier. So, I guess navigation in general.
For things like highlighting passages, it's a lot easier to see what you're doing. Also note-taking with it is nice; I've tried other handwriting apps and iPad styluses and was never able to do much with them, but pencil finally renders things readably, and without frustration. Drawing diagrams is also easier- I was watching basketball with a friend and asked what a "pick'n'roll" was, and the friend (who isn't much of an artist and had never used the Pencil before) was able to grab the iPad out of my hand and draw a diagram in about 30 seconds, as easily as with paper!
