I've never used one, and think that personally they are pretty lame, useless, and take up space. The only reason I can see them being useful is on a form with a lot of text elements, but then you have the danger of accidently hitting it and destroying all that you just typed in. Much easier to just do a reload, shift-reload, or go back and forward.

I don't use them. I can never remember if it's better to have them before or after the submit button. Having only rarely wanted to delete everything I've typed in a form, and when refreshing the page works so well, I don't see the point.

Moore's Law: The longer the form, the more likely you are to accidentally hit reset and curse madly.

If a user is updating existing information/data then they should have a way to reset/revert/undo to what the data was before they started editing. Similarrly they should have the option to redo.Thing is it is a real PITA to do so it is probably best to do if time permits, in most cases there are more important features to implement.
