Highly compositional design patterns in Java. When you have a fairly large set of custom types that are hierarchically structued in nature, it can be quite useful.
In most standard IT applications it may be less common. I've seen it used fairly well in scientific applications. There are of course other ways of approaching working with and acting on wide taxonomies of objects that could exist but this is one of them.
