myself- I tend to use saturation quite often,
it really depends on the mix,
today's - I had great sounding mix, new metal/deftones kind,
Culture Vulture LE, which I use for that task just messed the low end,
so I switched it off,
when I got acoustic music, well recorded, proper gain staging, clean and with big headroom - CV can do wonders,
it creates deep 3rd dimension, accent transients and adds vibe,
I also use it in parallel,
but as any other tool sometimes it works, sometimes - totally not,
during mixing stage - it's different story...
