I agree that meta description still is useful, but not really for SEO. I use the description tag to reach out with a message to the user. For example that there are free shipping or some other advantage, or maybe some current offer.

No, having keywords in your meta will not be harmful. The keyword in meta is ignored by main search engines (Google and Bing).
What important to understand is if you have a site and you use internal search crawler (often used by intranet within larger organizations), there's a switch to use keyword meta-tag or not. (default is also ignore , but can be changed to true). So, neither google nor bing penalize you for putting anything you need into that keyword meta.]]> 11/22/11, 326 15 2011 2011:%i:1321978543 16:15:43 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5175 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5842 11/28/11, 332 41 2011 2011:%i:1322448086 02:41:26 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5842 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5843 11/28/11, 332 35 2011 2011:%i:1322462111 06:35:11 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5843 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5854 11/29/11, 333 45 2011 2011:%i:1322570721 12:45:21 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5854 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5864 ]]> 12/06/11, 340 56 2011 2011:%i:1323154614 06:56:54 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5864 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/news/keywords_meta_tag_not_useful_in_seo/#p5868
