Most people I know use it to compose a pose while simultaneously carrying on a page or channel convo. I've always been so accustomed to just using the clipboard as a copy/paste buffer that even when I've used Potato on occasion I haven't found myself utilizing the dual-input window. But maybe it's something you get used to over time.
This is primarily what I use it for and I find it a lot more helpful than I did in the beginning. Channel convo I can just let scroll and whatever, but sometimes there are pages I feel like I should respond to right away. I also use it as a quick reference to bbposts or character finger info while writing. Even when I tried to save poses by copy/pasting, if you aren't vigilant about it every time, they're just gone. And recreating poses, much like copy/pasting hyperlinks from SimpleMU because it fucks up links, is a PITA I wasn't entirely aware I hated until I no longer had to deal with it.
Much of this. When I'm running a scene, it's nice to be able to draft and edit and update my poses while also keeping an eye on the scene itself, answering questions, etc.
I lose way too many poses to copying to the clipboard... and then getting distracted just long enough to copy something else.
I've done this more than once. I'll admit, it's part of why I have one of those Clipboard helpers (which keeps the last 15 things I've copied), and my old workaround was just to paste it into the input of a spawn window.
But I too have done this, especially when GM'ing, to the point I usually just have Sublime Text open to write the next GM emit. Which is, yes, why A2 has the 'you want one input area? You want six input areas? Whatever! Just enter a number!' functionality in the current prototype.
