I know I use them, and my peers use them, but how much does the average user actually use tooltips to figure out functionality?
Answer
Yes people do use tool tips.
For many people tool tips are essential. For example say a person with visual impairments person was using your application. To help them they may be using some assistive technology such as a screen reader.
Lets say that some of your buttons only had icons instead of text. How would a screen reader tell the user what the button did? Tool tips.
This is just one example of where tool tips are useful, there are many more.
