multilib repo useful?

I stumbled across an unofficial repo for multilib while looking around in the wiki to learn a bit about arch. I was wondering what packages would benefit most from having multilib installed? By this I mean, the packages most common 32bit packages installed on 64bit systems that would make use of multilib. I basically would like to see how useful multilb would be.

Usually not at all. There is almost no apps that is only available in 32bit, and even if you have to use one of them, IMO a chroot is cleaner, better and easier.

ah, alright. So it's just another option, but not necessarily a good option then...
