My personal use-case here is blogging: Nowadays, I'm writing my blog
posts in Org and build the page using Hakyll[1], which is build on top
of Pandoc.  The work-flow is not perfect, in that metadata has to be
specified separately as Hakyll ignores metadata returned by Pandoc, but
it's good enough for what I want.  I tried hacking something together
using org's publishing features, but I found Hakyll/Pandoc to be more
convenient and easier to use.

Other uses include import of Markdown/HTML into Org documents and the
use of Pandoc's support for references and citations; I rarely do that,
though.

Cheers,
Albert
