For me...
SYG is great for cases where someone enters your property uninvited and there's an inherent reasonable fear of great bodily harm or death. Fuck you, I'm gonna try to incapacitate your ass if you creep into my property. By default, it's reasonable for me to fear great bodily harm or death. I hope I don't have to kill you, but if I do, so long, sucker...
SYG is great in saving the taxpayers money when a public altercation ends in a shooting and consistent eye witness accounts, or better yet - surveillance cams, clearly show that the shooter had been attacked and acted in self defense. Immunity hearing; immunity granted. No brainer - RIP, asshole.
SYG sucks major ass when there are no eyewitnesses or surveillance cams to a public shooting of an unarmed person (especially an unarmed kid shot by an adult). And this is the case with the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman.
Should we simply trust the account of the sole survivor? I say, "no".
