On my Realms server, we have a nether network that we use that has rails built for it. However, no one really uses them because the short distance doesn't justify them.
We use them on our adventure based server to get from place to place. We currently have one long rail, but have plans for making more as we explore further.

I use minecarts for transport for items and sometimes I use them to transport me. Most of the time, I ride my horse for transportation purposes. I think horse riding is better for transport because you can quickly change route whereas minecarts, if there's a creeper directly in front of you, you can't change your route. You can only say your last words..... BOOOOOOOOOOM
I use rails all over the main world just because it helps when mapping them out. I know I'm going to be mapping out a whole section of chunks, and the next map is right next to it, etc... So I just build a huge rail line in the overworld everywhere I'm trying to map. In a grid.
Build the complete map, throw the minecart on the track, and go home.. paste the map
I have built nether minecart systems in my older maps, but the latest just has 2*3 tunnels.
In the current one I use one with an automatic item loader and unloader because I have to transport items upwards diagonally, I could use droppers but it would be very laggy. (and very annoying sound)
Automatic unloading is easy, automatic loading is much harder.

Interesting. I'm in the planning stages for a massive, long-term building project to use up all my extra cobblestone (about 100,000 blocks worth with another 30,000 or so needed before it's done) and will likely be using unmanned powered rails to ship the materials to the build site. I typically don't like using that much gold on powered rails, but I can't think of any other way to get large amounts of cobblestone to the location without driving myself batty running back and forth.
I'm not very redstone savvy- could you point out some simple plans or a video tutorial on automatic loading/unloading of minecarts?
I would never stop using them if they stayed at that superfast speed they briefly had
You speak the truth.
I guess the minimal hunger usage needs to be a factor, but horse can accomplish the same

I use them sometimes, they are luxury though!
I write short tales for my Minecraft Journal, Teds Tales!
Really what's packed ice then and how do you get it and how is it different
Well, the wiki article on packed ice is here.
The source of my intention isn't really crime prevention; my intention is prevention of the lie! Yeah, welcome to the Scatman's world!
On my server packed ice has become the defacto norm for nether travel, but I personally like the hands off, afk aspect of rail transport better.

I use them to travel quickly between bases. They are resource expensive but if you find abandoned mineshafts FREE RAILS!.Mind as well use them.
As soon as I get a decent amount of materials I have to make them. I'm a big builder,
so I like to create cities and connect them with railroads for easy transport.

@Apollo243 what material are the walls in your screenshot?
They are nice and shiny!

looks like snow blocks.

Bring a Punch II bow while on a minecart is necessary. lol
