Truth. Hated the 50mm when I got it, thought that all those people who recommended it were just recommending me the cheapest lens with thin DOF for that LULZ PROFESSIONAL BORKEH look. After one year with it, I find it has more use than my zooms. My 50mm is stuck in front of my crop DSLR, never felt the need for another lens. Heck, the kit lens is now used just 10% of the time - for group shots when I really need to get that much people inside the frame. I use it to cover performances, portraits, candids, and even some street. Heck If I can get away with it, I use it for landscape simply because its way sharper than the kit.
Also, I know that I spent over 9000 moneys on a body only to skimp on an 80 dollar lens. I have limited funds and after the 50mm, the next thing I bought was a fast laptop, a crappy used car and a used flash. Three things which are much more useful to me photographically than my kit lens. That said, I'm now saving for a 100mm macro for Christmas.
Pic related. What finally made me appreciate my 50mm prime.
