I use when possible to prevent spoilers.

We've carried on with sessions walking around town (DM shaking a couple of coins in his cupped hands to do dice rolls), so…nothing very formal with me and my crew.

I used to enjoy the barrier they created, but I don't have much to hide from my players. Also, it depends on the game. If I'm running D&D, the charts comes in handy. If we're playing something that a bit more role play heady, I'll opt out on using a screen to have a closer connection to my players. In the end, they're a desirable item in terms of artwork (but always vary greatly in build quality) and a center piece at the table, but I don't feel they're necessary for me anymore.
