Think of it this way, when you used to play AD&D (if
you ever did), what did the Elf Thief in the group do?
 I mean besides rob the other players purses.  He
normally played point man, or mingled in a crowd so as
not to appear like a part of the group.  The same with
the sneak.  If a large hoard of Primers rumble with
the players, it's nice to have someone who can pick a
few off with surprise attacks.  Or as the example with
the compound, it's nice to have a diversion (either by
the sneak or the party) so that the other group can
get inside.

Just because I guy is a sneak doesn't make him weak. 
It's all in how you use him.
