I use mine when I go past 200mm, when I do macro, when I do self portraits, when I set up my studio, when I shoot at night, when I do panoramas, when I shoot video, and when I make time lapses. There are a million and a half reasons to use them. Most of the stuff that I take photos of require a fast enough shutter speed that a tripod becomes unnecessary. And if your subject is moving around a bunch, trying to chase it around with a tripod is a bit ungainly as well.

Yes, but shutter speed is only one point on the triangle of exposure. You could also increase the aperture (but will also decrease depth of field) or increase the ISO, aka film sensitivity (but will also increase grain and/or noise.) But long shutter speeds is the best way to go if you're talking about really dark scenes and you're willing to use a tripod. And the best way to be absolutely sure that you're camera won't go rogue and use the popup flash is to use a non-automatic shooting mode (e.g., AV, TV, M)
