It gives you a really mature sound, which transforms your majors into a more relaxed, diffused tone. When used excessively, you create smooth jazz; when used sparingly it makes your 'pop' song sound more like alternative rock.
Try this little exercise:
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 F
A Amaj7 A Amaj7 D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Amaj7 A Amaj7 A Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D
These four chords blend easily with the major chords you're used to, so it should help you out. The other major7s are practically useless, aside from Bmaj7, they sound like crap. Don't bother with sounds that don't sound good.

Dm, Dsus2, D7, A7, etc
but i don't have much feel for them so i don't use them often
also the capo works for letting me level up without me doing much. :P

I do use the sevens from time to time
Never really explored them since I haven't seen many song use them extensively
