You obviously haven't watched pro games. In pro games, there is usually one support hero on each team. The support hero stays in the background and helps the carry. The support hero basically doesn't farm any minions at all (a game where the support has 5 minion kills and the carry has 300 minion kills is pretty common).

I watched some of the matches in the Intel Extreme Masters tournament. Out of the matches I saw, there basically was a support Soraka in more than half of them. So she is pretty popular amongst the pros. Amongst amateurs she is probably much less used. I personally do not use her at all.
