You're "preaching to the quoir," Bob!
You left out one of my favorite uses: macro!
How many of us have struggled with macro composition, trying to adjust tripods
in sub-millimeters, bumping the tripod and having to start all over, having the
tiniest movement affect focus?
With a shift lens on an extension tube, you set up reasonably parallel to the
subject plane, focus, then compose by shifting. This is MUCH easier than using
a macro slider!
