It's the only way we can do world travel on a budget. We play the airline miles game intently, and travel all over the world on a pittance. Almost every dollar we spend is channelled through our miles cards and we regularly switch credit cards so that we can get big introductory bonus miles offers. Between my wife and I we currently have about 500,000 miles, good for about 4 roundtrips for both of us to most places on earth (and that's after we cashed in a bunch of miles for an epic Turkey/Spain/France trip last summer). The cash back cards would be a better value if it wasn't for those bonus offers and the ability to do stopovers on the miles cards.
