Rudder use -

There's an awful lot of text written on the rudder. While it's obvious it parted the aircraft at some time, I find it hard to believe it was pilot induced. I'd like to hear from those (transport pilots only, please) that actually use the rudder that much in flight OTHER than during take-off and approach/landing.

Edit:
P.S. Maybe I should clarify that by asking Airbus pilots, or more specifically, AF447 type. Although other types/mfgrs would be of interest as well.
