It's a long history with this lamp and most of the improvements have come with longer life versions of these bulbs.  The long life flood bulbs are the same physical size as other flood lamps but have multiple filament supports that protect against vibration and rough use.  In fact, these are sometimes called rough service or vibration service bulbs.  If you're a commercial user, then R30 long life flood light bulbs would be a great choice for many of the applications you have today.  Large commercial buildings are still a major user of this lamp where the labor to change out bulbs can get quite expensive.  If you have incandescent lamps anywhere in your building, they can be susceptible to vibration in elevators, slamming doors or machines being turned on and off.  In fact, one of the most common applications in a building is the hallway ceiling, you'll see them there and so you can see why vibration resistance would be essential with all the activity.  Another savings to keep in mind, is that your maintenance people won't be changing bulbs as often, that means a labor savings as well.  With added labor savings, your people can take care of more pressing issues rather than a light bulb going out.  For people who want to save energy while getting longer life, the R30 compact fluorescent would be a good way to go.  You can get a similar amount of light while reducing your electrical consumption by 75%.  Many times there are utility rebates which can help with the total cost, but even without the rebates, energy savings make it a quick payback.
