I use 'drive' mode when photographing fast moving steam trains. These beasts out on the main line don't hang around.
Press photographers certainly need high FPS shooting and in particular sports photographers where high speed action is an essential part of the job. Try telling your editor you missed the goal because you were shooting single frame and weren't quick enough on the shutter button. In a press scrum where the paps are fighting over who is going to get the best pic of a celeb high frames-per-second is a must.
I can't imagine it being much use for landscape photographers though.
But professional photographers have always used motor drive, even in film days. This has nothing to do with the advent of digital photography.

Having seen JudithAnn's entry I just want want want a bright red KX.

I agree with both i-Berg and Gareth. There are some great subjects here but you could improve them by targetting the subject more closely, either at the taking stage or by cropping in Photoshop and that some post process sharpening would improve the images.

I'm also a member of the wheelbarrow fan club Ted. It has excellent colour and texture. I quite like the musicians and parasol but can't help being distracted by the empty deck chair.

PS What's a tripod?

Looks magenta to me but many people see magenta as pink, or even purple.

Lovely set all round but the one that grabs me the most is running repairs. This is a lens that has gone on my wish list and your pictures confirm its desirability.

Weathered stonework at Durham Cathedral, around 900 years old, and graves in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire between 200 and 300 years old. C+C encouraged.

The cross hatching will make some interesting star burst effects.

I'm waiting for Stefan to come up with some incomprehensible answer to the problem of removing Windolene from a camera lens.
