I've used it a few times since then as a rapid-prototyping tool for 2d graphics stuff, mostly interactive graphics toy type of stuff, and I think it's pretty good for that. HTML5 Canvas is getting to the point where it'll probably replace it for that purpose for me, but when Processing came out in the early 2000s, there wasn't much comparable when it came to getting some interactive graphics working in a web browser in <10 lines of code.
