I use the consoles for development, low overhead, and with screen lots
of alternate screens. Also, I do dnf updates from a console without X
running. Same idea as only doing updates when the system is going down,
though not as robust. And it allows me to see the messages from X as it
runs (I start it on a different console than 1), if there are problems.

All that said, I think the consoles can be considered as deprecated, as
they receive little love from developers, and are slowly being whittled
down to inconsequential.
