I don't use it because it requires that I switch back. My wife won't be bothered to deal with learning the people-switcher (there's no reason she should, it's really her laptop in question), so using incognito means that once I close the window, it's clean again. It's a lot easier to remember to close the window than it is to remember to switch back to her account.

The option I finally chose to go with, is to install firefox on her computer as well. Firefox is for me, Chrome is for her. I'm an FF guy anyway. The main UX problem stands, though, it's too easy to be the wrong person.

I'm in the same boat, well aware of chrome option to switch accounts, but the simplicity of dual browsers wins when two people use the same login regularly.

Also I get to keep up to date with changes in firefox.

There's no need to "Switch back" unless... oh my, your wife closes all her browser windows sometimes?!
