Depending on the airport you fly at and the wx conditions svfr can be very useful to get in or out of a controlled airport. A lot of pilots are reluctant to use it but it will expedite operations a lot compared to IFR in a terminal area.

Problem is some airports are not that used to dealing with it but if you know what to ask for it can be a time saver. In AK it's used a lot at the towered airports since u can't carry passengers in sel ac. Used to be common to have 4-5 or more ac keeping visual contact and getting cleared in or out as a group. Works great if you are comfortable with the area.
