I have been using mlocate to provide a simple and low traffic search index for users in an NFS home environment. (updatedb run on the file server, but db searchable from clients)
However, having it enabled by default also caused trouble earlier e. g. when using automount or non-standard file systems not configured in the stock updatedb.conf. Not sure if my vote counts, but: locate has its use and I would install it on most servers, but having it on by default has bitten me already in the past.
