yeah, swap is definitely still useful and it gets used by the kernel well before the main memory is full
For what applications? Is it for people who don’t have a lot if RAM? I have not had a swap partition in ages.
For most things. The only exception I see is if you have really over dimensioned memory, or have a very predictable load so that having the extra reclaimable space won’t make a difference.
