for the big picture,

   :help quickfix.txt

to jump straight to the location-list stuff in that document:

   :help location-list

and if you're not familiar with how to use help, be sure to stop by

   :help

(with no target specified) where you'll learn how to navigate, 
search, and jump between topics.

 From the help, the big overview can be summarized like

   "In Vim the quickfix commands are used more generally to
    find a list of positions in files."  -- :help quickfix

   "A location list is similar to a quickfix list and
    contains a list of positions in files.  A location list
    is associated with a window and each window can have a
    separate location list." -- :help location-list

so the time to use the QF/LL is any time you have "a list of 
positions in files".  My own summary somewhat helps seed some 
"cool ideas".
