I too see it as a good overall indication of... first of all, age ( page is at least 3-4 months old ), being spam or not ( spam rarely has PR ), and whether site will try to install spyware within 3 seconds or not. I like it from a user perspective, and see little else playing a role here. I know SEO and I don't care about PageRank scores in that regard, yet it's fairly accurate in predicting stuff for me as a casual user.

Why, what are you using it for?

...

Isn't it that people are STILL not educated about the changes in Google? ( There won't be official branding of a parameter ever again, that's for sure! )

Most people treat Google as if it was '99, they rely on five to ten year old info... on the web that changes every other week. For example I come here every day to see if the world has yet again turned upside down.

If a company won't do business with you because of PageRank, you shouldn't do business with them either and for a very good reason...

They're ignorant, slow, uninformed, and/or conservative.

They're not fit for the web.
