I have used it in the past, when Windows moved away from boot.ini. That
was probably XP, so about twenty years ago.
I believe using it to write currently requires booting to Safe Mode,
and if I've got to reboot, it might as well be to the Debian install
disc/USB. Having got to chroot, I just use the up-arrow and it remembers
the efibootmgr command I used last time.
I haven't looked for a while, if it's possible to set NextBoot from
normal Windows it would be worth doing.
