I use it all the time.  For example, to build up (what I consider to be)
readable SQL queries:

    rows = self.executesql("select cities.city, state, country"
                           "    from cities, venues, events, addresses"
                           "    where cities.city like %s"
                           "      and events.active = 1"
                           "      and venues.address = addresses.id"
                           "      and addresses.city = cities.id"
                           "      and events.venue = venues.id",
                           (city,))

I would be disappointed it string literal concatention went away.
