Why so little love for tarragon?

I'm a big fan of the Artemesias. Sage, wormwood, mugwort. All my friends. And while I rarely get a chance to use it even in cooking, I love the smell of it. I made a delicious soup yesterday with tarragon, and it occurred to me to look. Sure enough, tarragon is Artemisia dracunculus. One more member of the family.

But in looking around, it seems like a rarely mentioned herb in terms of magic work. I saw a few things online, but it just seems to be pretty ho-hum anyway. Only 4 mentions here at all, and they're just general recipes.

Curious if anyone works with it, or if it really is just the pretty but vapid member of the family.
