Only times I've done it recently has been for under-attenuated brews, where I've racked and added extra yeast.
For pilseners etc, I'm also leaving in primary longer, then racking into a cube for lagering.
Depends a bit for me on what I'm doing with the beer.
With lagers I've noticed that if I take the beer from primary, filter then straight to keg/fridge I'm not letting an important part of lagering/secondary ferm take place and quite a few lager least products, sulphur and the like never get cleaned out of the beer. If I'm filtering, either to keg or bottle then I'm finding it's important for the beer to spend quite a bit time with some yeast in the secondary/lager to clean up some of those lager products. For those that go straight to bottle it's probably not so critical because they are "lagering" in the bottle for quite a bit anyway so prim straight to bottle is a similar process.
With ales, it's not so critical so I'm tending to crash chill for a few days, then filter straight to keg.
Oh sacred blanket of CO2, hallowed be thy name, for thou existeth in defiance of the laws of physics and thermodynamics.
