Any examples?

So, could you provide any examples on how one could benefit from using this plugin?

No examples I can find, but this in the readme gives a few clues:

Provides functions for:
- render elements
- validation
- manipulate arrays and objects
- work with files (upload, remove, etc.)
- process images (thumbnaills, sprites, etc.)
- run various common sql queries
- load html document or file to phpQuery
- translate short phrase by Google or Lingvo
- debug, etc.

Also:
- allow plugins to run time-based schedule code (like cron)
- nested sets tree model

The nested sets tree model looks interesting, and could have saved me some work in the RepyTo plugin.

I think it comes down to needs. If you are writing a plugin, then take a look here to see if there is anything useful, then set up a dependency (can you do that in Vanilla - I confuse WP, Drupal, Vanilla, ...).
