We have a dining room, play room, and an eat in kitchen. We probably use the dining room 5-10 times a year.

I would rather open up our kitchen/dining room into one big room.

But yea, a playroom is a must. A dining room really isn't if you have an eat in kitchen, unless you plan on hosting a lot of holidays.

I use it when we have family over for a sitdown meal (which has happened twice in four years). The house also has a formal living room, which will eventually be a playroom. If we didn't have that, then the dining room would probably be repurposed as a playroom or family room.

We use ours for holidays and when guests are over. So every once in awhile. But we turned the extra bedroom downstairs into a playroom so it worked out.

i like to sit there and do work. My 4 year old has joined me and she "works" too. I can see it also being a homework area in the future.

We got a less formal table (bench on one side) and we use it when we have friends or family over for dinner or when we are doing crafts. And definitely holidays. But we also have a loft playroom. That's used more than the table but I definitely like having to the dining room.
