In contrast to what others have posted, I work on textbooks mainly in Frame and the copyright info tends to change, so I don't use text imports for that. Perhaps the most common use for me is importing the author's software code examples. But now that I think about that, there's not a lot of advantage over copy-paste unless they get updated often.

Duplicated common text can also be handled using xrefs.
