Stacks are used a lot more, for a bunch of things. You can use them to simulate recursion in programming languages, make calculators, test validity of expressions etc. One common stack use is to make undo/redo edit operations in applications. You push editing operations on the stack, and when you want to undo it, you pop it.

stack is used when you need FILO access, the queue is used when you need FIFO access or access by priority (priority queue)
