I use them on my titles so that styling is more uniform and I can easily resize all of the letters. You can also consolidate multiple objects/layers to one layer.

What method do you use to drag your elements over where you aren't dealing with a smart object?
I just open my elements. The files all pile on top of one another and then I use my move tool, dragging them on to a blank canvas.

method--taught my own self and am probably doing it backwards or the hard way!
