Whether you use this feature or not is really going to come down to a matter of personal preference. I like having a few views as shortcut icons because it's easy for me to quickly find the icon I need and open it rather than having to find the tab in one of the panes (reading is hard). Also, when I open a Fast View I've already set it to the exact size I like so I don't have to maximize the view by double-clicking on the title bar. So, the choice is yours, but at least give it a try to see if it makes you any quicker on the draw.
