In my playthrough of FF7, I only had Aeris in my party when she was forced into it, so I don't think I saw any of her Limit Breaks beyond the first one.

Aerith is great simply because she has a healing limit, and it usually comes in handy that it gets executed with priority. Give her some more heals and attack magic, and you have a character you can always use. Her other limits are great, too, yeah.
In the past, I've probably just assembled a party based on attack strength and disregarded the healing, but I also spent a lot of time grinding in the past. In my current playthrough, I've done almost no grinding, so having a healer is nice. I guess I'll have to rely on materia to do all of the healing when she dies.
Just going to leave this here, I have JUST got the buggy and without any unnecessary grinding (thanks to the low low encounter rate for Yuffie in the Junon Wooded Area), I have got all her limits before I can ever get a chance to grab Great Gospel, which I might add, I do have the Mithril for: I'm just awaiting for the old man to get back to his shack.
Oh and Beta and Aqualung along with every other available Enemy Skill up to this point is also a very nice bonus when placed on a high magic stat user... like Aerith, who deals between 1200-1500 damage to all opponents with each casting. Bosses get slaughtered within seconds.
I don't like grinding a lot especially in the beginning of bgames. I usually reserve that for end game, so I've never seen Aeris' limit breaks past the 2nd.
I haven't done any grinding (but I got Yuffie; again, really quickly) and I just got the buggy, and my Aerith is level 21, but I don't have anything past Seal Evil.
I hate everything about Aeris except for her character design and her limit breaks.
It actually really sucks when you lose her, because you don't get any more healing limit breaks.

Lets break it down: she requires 160 kills in total to be able to unlock 2/1 and 3/1 even if you're not going for her 4/1 limit, it seems such a waste NOT to use her if only for her Fury Brand.
Also if you hang around sector 7 just before the plate falls you can get her Striking Staff if you steal it from Eligor, which puts her attack higher then Cloud right up until he gets Hardedge, Barrett until you can steal it from Custom Sweeper (oudside Midgar) and Tifa until you steal it from Madouge (Mithril Mines).
When we take into account how easy Beta is to get as soon as you leave Midgar (yes without grinding it is 100% do able as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_FUCyFclBw ) with Aeriths high magic stat, she goes from being "poor fighter" to boss slaughterer within minutes of leaving Midgar.
People who prioritize attack over magic are going to be spend a great deal longer killing any enemy I mean you run into a group of 5 Cappawire cast matra magic and bam... 5 dead caps or you can attack with Cloud, he does (with hardedge) about 150 damage, they have an HP of 210, now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the math on this one.
You were very lucky then lol, I honestly thought the game was broken when I was setting out to get her.
Not entirely true. Sometimes Cait Sith randomly gets a healing Limit Break. I've had it happen on a few occasions not expecting it. Not a guaranteed thing, but it's happened.

Doesn't Yuffie have a healing one?
One of Yuffie's early limit breaks is a healing one that is good in an emergency, but not particularly necessary. The strength in Aerith's limits lies more in the supporting role of her later limits: filling the limit guage of the party (can be a huge game-changer) and casting temporary invincibility.
Yuffie has one too. I forgot. But it's like level 1 isn't it?
I got Yuffie pretty early on too. Ther's a 12% chance you'll run into her in the forests by Ft. Condor ... That's where I got her. You have to answer her questions right though in any first encounter you have with her.
To be fair, Aeris will be one of your biggest physical attackers if you're savvy enough to steal a Mythril Staff(?) from the chariot enemy while going through the train graveyard. Cloud gets a similar weapon (Hardedge?) from the SOLDIER: 3rds on the upper floors of the Shinra tower before you get caught.
Just that Aerith leaves you 3 metres later.
