This is such a useful command, much easier than trying to parse config/routes.rb in your head. I remember using it a lot when I was getting started. I think as time goes on and you get used to your application and how route helpers are formed, you will find you use the tool less. It's always good to keep in the back pocket for every time Rails throws an error because you used the wrong helper though!

Agreed! Although the command might not be so relevant to me in the future, I'll always keep it in my back pocket with fond memories of how it taught me routing so well haha
