none of that applies to my position. I have an appreciation for almost all of C# and am comfortable in the framework. I just want to know what situations would be better suited to using them than traditional approaches.

I get there's an .Either pattern when chaining function calls so you don't have to do weird typing to return errors, but I'm using exceptions for that anyway, so the return type isn't an issue.

The Result pattern can be a lot more ergonomic than exceptions.

Microsoft C# guidelines recommend try-parse (which is just the Result pattern, albeit somewhat cludgy with no unions) over exceptions.
