Probably less common, but I write a lot of JS code interfacing with devices over serial connections. This makes Buffer's convenience methods for encoding and decoding data types in both big and little endian ordering really useful to me.
It looks like I could accomplish the same thing using a DataView of an ArrayBuffer, but I don't see enough of a benefit to justify converting everything to this approach.
