Default Is Glideplan still relevant?

Given the level of moving map sophistication in the cockpit these days I am wondering what use, if any, Glideplan is to the soaring pilot. If you use it, where does it add value for you? Safety? training? XC planning or in flight navigation? Competition? Any stories o share?

Thanks,

I like to use it to make maps for contests.
If I taught, I would use it to help students plan early cross country flights.
