One example (pushing it I know) is when using GRASS in place of a vector 
graphics image-processing package when you don't want to have to 
buy/install/learn how to use such a thing.
Something I found GRASS very useful for about a year ago was taking a poor 
quality low-res JPEG mockup of a logo (for a student radio station), 
thresholding, converting to vector, colourising and ending up with a nice 
high-quality vector-based Encapsulated PostScript logo. The ps.map black 
border really got in the way then.
