What kind of jobs do people put into such queues? Because I've only seen job queues used as a poor man's RPC brokers and (poor?) replacement for crontab. I think I may miss some use cases where this is a valid choice.

If you don't like it don't use it. I read through your profile's comments, all you do is complain and bash other peoples ideas.

For our web application, we're already in the middle of transition from Celery to a proper RPC system, so your comment (aimed to, I don't know, make me ashamed? make me shut up and go doing some real work?) somewhat missed.

Though I really want to know if there are any sensible uses for task queue, specifically with web applications in mind, as most people seem to use task queues for that.

Only the stupid or incomplete ones, like somebody boasting about their system without describing what does it do or how to install and use it.
