“Who gives a crap and who uses a syphon?”
I do not use a siphon as frequently as I used to on desert trips since I now have 2 gas tanks, but some people do not have 2 gas tanks on their 4 wheel drives thus must carry jerry cans. (we go on trips in the desert that require more than one tank of gas, where gas is unavailable in Nevada). It is very nice to not have to remove the jerry cans, screw on a spout, and manhandle them to refill the tank. With the jiggle siphon, you do not need to do anything, but remove the top of the jerry can, and jiggle the hose a couple times.
So thats who uses a siphon.

Siphons are used frequently in irrigation around here, rather than use the huge sprinkler setups. I have used them draining boats, cheap above ground pools and for a host of other applications, including 'fuel transfer'.
How useful the principle is to you depends on the opportunities you have to apply it.
