It's use is limited for some situations. Especially when you don't only have carry-on, some places still require you to stand in line for checkin. Then you barely have a benefit doing an online checkin.

However, more modern airports/airlines have automated the checkin process, even offer tags to print at home and automated bag drop areas.

For these situations it's pretty good to check in online and just walk past the lines.
