> Would you mind telling just what few keyboard macros YOU DO USE?

I have a macro that creates an empty perl file (with #! and
perl-mode), and another for a template HTML file, with the cursor
positioned where the title goes.  But, these are programmed in elisp
and attached to a key (same key - it guesses based on the file name).

What I use the keystroke macros for is rearranging code.  For example,
I do "ls" in a window and cut-n-paste it into a source file, then
fix-up the first line while recording.  Then, a Ctrl-U and a playback,
and it fixes up all the rest of the lines.  I also do search-fixups
this way, as you can record the search too.
