What is the use of decompiling, is there any real time use case?

Or when you're too lazy to hunt down the sources, both for internal and external dependencies. Just Ctrl+click the method and have a quick look at the decompiled implementation, usually good enough.

Anytime you have to debug closed source libraries. Or even make your own implementation.
