I didn't want to sift throught the last 5 novels on this thread, but I think I have an appropriate answer for this question:
Program mode is not an idiot mode, but is actually very efficient. It's as useful as manual mode, except you can adjust aperture or shutter speed, and you will get a continual equivalent exposure. I haven't played with it too much as I usually shoot in manual, but it seems like you could be quicker to adjust your settings.
It's a given that the exposure might be off, but if you use compensation like in Tv or Av, it would be fine. It just seems useful because you can make a quick jump to a specific shutter speed without having to adjust aperture and vice versa. Or having to switch modes.
