Shaping transients with a limiter is also a good use for one.

Funny how I can't find an explanation in simple terms with examples when you would use one vs the other. Keep in mind that I'm talking about explanations for a complete beginner who does not understand what these terms mean.
I'm not saying the guy here didn't do a fantastic job, it's just that I can't find explanations for complete noobs.
