I already used them. Right now I am starting a new project, which I would like to opensource, so other developers can write plugins without messing with the core app. So instead of "to install this plugin add x lines in the user controller file in before filter function and y lines in the posts controller file, the plugin to have some (predefined) hooks. This usually means a event driven approach. And most of the more featured cake apps out there have aldeady somewhat implemented this. I'm just looking around for the best approach to this kind of functionality. Of course this can be done instantiating a list of the plugins and then execute in the BeforeFilter() the the functions that start with "BeforeFilter" in a certain hooks.php file in every plugin directory. Quick and dirty, and it works. But I am looking for a more elegant solution.
