Default What use is a 70-200?

In another thread just now, I was reminded of a question that has puzzled me on and off for quite a while. It is this: what do people actually use mid-range telephoto lenses for? 70-200 was just an example, I'm curious what part lenses in that general class (let's say over 60mm to around 250 on a 1.6 crop format, or around 100 to 300 on 35mm) play in people's photography.

(As will be obvious from the question, I don't have a lens in that range unless you count the 100-400 which could just about be a 400 prime the way I use it 99% of the time, and have never particularly felt a need to add one. So this is just idle curiosity.)

What do you use your 70-200 (or 150mm prime, or etc.) for?
