I only use it in two cases:
One: When I'm working on some absolutely spaghettified/mangled HTML and want to manually split chapters.
In Book View, you can easily see where the cursor is located, and then you can press
Edit > Split at Cursor or
Ctrl+Enter.
Preview is missing the cursor + Code View is sometimes not human-readable (think InDesign mess where every word is wrapped in a hundred-character <span>).
Two: When I go through a book and want to quickly add/tweak <h1-h5> to text. I can scroll through and visually see what text should be what heading. Then I can click on it +
Ctrl+1 through
Ctrl+5 to give it the proper heading level.
Book View changes instantly.
With Preview there is a very long delay, and sometimes when syncing between Code/Preview, it jumps to other locations (Book View doesn't have that problem).
And Code View, it's very hard to visually see the code should actually be (many times blog posts accidentally have stuff like <p><strong>Subheading</strong></p>).
