It's a very fun framework when you're learning it. It constantly feels like you're learning something extremely profound and useful, but I've also found that feeling to be a bit of a mirage.
Despite trying many times to make greater use of it, I've found that it often just makes a lot of actual physics work less clear, and with very little practical benefit.
There's times where it affords quite pretty notation, but often you have to actually unpeel all that notation before you actually do something with it. And what's the point of nice notation if none of your colleagues can even read it? The only time I ever really found that GA was actually a benefit to me was performing rotations.

Maybe that's why I've found it so useful when doing rigging for animation—that's the entire job!
