Default How do drivers use the 6th gear in a manual?

This may be a naive question, but please bear with me.

I have driven 5 speed transmissions for most of my life and am now
upgrading to a great vehicle with a 6 speed.

I wonder if other stick shift lovers out there can tell me when and how
they like to use the 6th gear? Is there more to it than when you're in
cruise control on an interstate?
