Amazingly I find myself using the REPL all the time, even though I never use IELM for Emacs Lisp. I'm not sure why.
This one is easy, I think :-) How often are you curious about the return value of an emacs lisp function given some arguments? If you used emacs lisp for writing (non-editing-related) applications, you'd probably spend a lot more time in ielm buffers.
Yeah, that'd explain it. My Elisp evals typically operate on the current buffer/point so I wouldn't run them from IELM. -Luke
