It seems like any time you need to use them it would be easier to just make a class. Are they actually used in real programs or are they just taught for the sake of knowledge?
The questions you should be asking are the following imo:
1) What does it do?
2) Are there alternatives?
2.1) Are the alternatives better?
You're stuck with pre-determined amounts when using arrays. If this is not an issue to you or anyone around you, use it, otherwise re-ask above questions. I had fun learning about containers, hopefully you do too o.o
