Not sure if some people are using a touch screen, I'm not, but I like having access to clips from both the clip bar and the clip browser, and *also* (but more rarely) the context menu.

The clip bar is for my frequently used "universal" clips which are useful in all projects. I also have thematic and client-specific clip groups which are useful frequently but not necessarily everywhere, so it can be helpful to scroll down to the specific client or theme group and keep that quickly accessible in the clip window (I keep this docked under the book browser) and grab what I need from there or the clip bar.
I rarely use the context menu (sometimes I do) because I have a lot of clips and a lot of groups (including nested sub-groups...) and it can be fiddly and time-consuming to navigate through them in the context menu to find the one I want, instead of just scrolling the clip window to the pertinent group and keeping it close-to-hand.

Do you mean you use the clips instead of saved searches? Or saved searches in addition to clips? (I also have tons of saved searches including series which I do on practically every project, and I also open the saved searches window (CTRL ALT F) and go down the list, rather than use the context menu

)
Clips and saved searches are probably my top 2 favourite Sigil features.
