Where that is even more valuable is stepping through a script with subscripts. You step into the subscript, and then realize you don't want to execute any of the steps. You want to back out a level and continue because what you're looking for isn't in this subscript, it's somewhere further along. With an exit step at the end, you just go to it, resume the script from there, and continue stepping through. Without it you are forced to stop and begin again, remembering to step past that subscript this time.
