Why is Hide in Shadows useless? My Halfling uses it all the time, all he needs is a good Shadow to hide in, then 75% of the time he stays in Shadow until he attacks.
It also comes in handy when you have two thieves working together. If you have Imoen, just imagine all of the damage Coran and Imoen can do together backstabbing enemies while your PC (Or another NPC) distracts them.
Heck, Minsc can tank while Coran and Imoen backstab two enemies! (PC included if they're a Single/Dual/Multi Thief)
I do agree that pickpocketing can be useless, unless someone pickpockets from you then you can pickpocket them. I've also made quite a bit of money when I pickpocketed a few rings of protection over and over, but this was in BGII.
