On aircraft like the 744 and 777, you will lose your V-speeds for takeoff if reverse is used during the taxi out. Best only used in that situation if necessary for control reasons such as on slippery surfaces. I wonder if the newer 737's are the same.

Used to use idle reverse on engine #2 on the 727 although I'm sure all three engines could be used if desired.
