I'm just wondering who uses minis in their games. Having played 3ed D&D for the past 4 years, minis are a necessity for the system. How does using them translate to Shadowrun?

My guess is there isn't as much mechanical emphasis placed on them as D&D does but can they still be used effectively? I tend to like to use minis and battlemats in my games.
