I keep tinkering with them - it really depends on the character.
My "sword/board" Nord uses followers regularly because he just kind of slams and frontal assaults anyway.
My thief just uses them for escort on the open roads, she's especially fond of Kharjo the big Khajiit.
My assassin never uses one.
My mage is mixed... she's killed probably half her followers though, I just treat it as part of her "oops, sorry, guess you won't be needing that now" quest for total power. Eventually, she'll just summon new "dolls for friends" I suppose.
My archer so far is using one, mostly as a "looks dangerous, you go first" shield.
