I have three: two beam-style and one click-style. I use them a lot. But that's probably because I tinker a lot with my bikes. I build one up. I tear one down. Wash, rinse, repeat. I'm very picky about my work, and I do torque to spec whenever I have a spec, which is increasingly often.

FWIW, I've never quite bought into that whole "get a feel for the torque" argument. My issue with that is that the leverage on my torque wrenches is far different from that on my hex-head wrenches. I don't see how one can transfer the "feel" of 80 inch-pounds from a foot-long torque wrench to a five-inch hex-wrench with any accuracy. Just MHO.
