I use it a lot. I wish i could add multiples to go backfurther....

i.e.:

cd /var/log

cd /etc/ssh

cd /home/samstave/Downloads

cd -- (takes me back to /var/log/)

    pushd /var/log
    pushd  /etc/ssh
    pushd /home/samstave/Downloads

    popd;
    !! (takes me back to /var/log/)

You could alias cd to pushd and cd- to popd...

I use pushd/popd/dirs for multiples. I have aliases like p1 for "pushd +1" and so on.

cf. pushd and popd
