Few *NEED* one, but there's a lot that can benefit from one, some a great deal. I believe that programming-in-general is just such an application: the usage of the file-system as an ad-hoc database is really quite fragile and, I believe it's quite obvious, adds a lot of system-dependencies that are unnecessary. (eg file-name case sensitivity, timestamp resolution, etc.)
