I think they are only there for folks with boring first pages.

That was probably a good example of a poorly done prologue. I don't put them into my own writing because their purpose (to tell the reader anything they need to know before starting the story) never seems to apply. But just because I don't use them, doesn't mean they don't have a place in writing. Like you said, I think they can be good if done right.
