What the heck is the purpose of a Buddy List?

I don't get the point of FT's Buddy List. I know how to add people to it. But what for?

SteveInSTL posed an exact question about the Buddy List here.

Is there future functionality coming to FT? Or are we just dense and not using it to its full capability?

Thanks.
