Extremely useful.  I usually keep local branches closely synchronized
with a remote "central" version, and tracking branches make the frequent
push/pull much more convenient.

I often delete the default local "master" branch though, and have only
one local branch per working directory (and like you, use origin/... for
much interbranch synchronization, e.g. rebasing).
