Guy,
VTP is very helpful; it spans your VLANs across your campus. We have dozens
of VLANs; we are able to place any server or workstation on any of these
VLANs anywhere in the complex. A subnet is not limited to one office. You
don't have to readdress a workstation if it moves; you don't even have to
give it a different gateway.
The added benefit of being able to set up a VLAN in a matter of seconds from
one central location is also helpful. I can't imagine anyone not using
VLANs if they have more than about a dozen switches.
