I don't like it and never use it.
My parents have both had bad experiences with it.
1. My dad was using cc on a highway and when he braked for a red light the cc did not turn off.
The engine kept revving while he tried to stop the car with the brakes. He had to turn the car off while driving to make it stop. I remind DH of this every time he uses cc on trips. 
2. My step-mom hydroplaned on a wet road while her cc was speeding up to resume speed and she went off the road and hit a tree.
Maybe these are just two random, isolated incidents, but I'm too much of a control freak. I want to tell the car what to do.

Just goes to show you that we all have different perspectives. I have a step dad that uses cruise control until he rams up the butt of the driver in front of him....then turns it off, curses, changes lanes....and resets it moments later. I prefer to ease off the gas and slow down, pass, then speed up again. I'm so anal about driving I always stay within 4 mph of the speed limit in the right lane. Yep - 
that's me over there. And I get great mileage. I'm not buying the "world would be a better place and idiot drivers would not exist if we all used cruise control" line. I think there are bad cruise control users and bad non-cruise control users.
