Devs use function keys a lot, on the Mac?

I'm a web developer and am keyboard-centric, but I've never ever had to use one function key from I can remember.

What are they used for? I do use the ctrl key while in the terminal, but what I am missing with the function keys..?

Some IDEs make extensive use of function keys, e.g. IDEs from JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, …).
