If you want to use it for productivity apps and development tools, I would say "yes", it works fine. Having the ability to run GS/OS, use 800K disk drives without expensive interface cards, and a cheap 1 MB RAM disk is a plus. And, like a few of us have done, you can hack your ROM 1 motherboard into a //e case to fix the visual and keyboard anomalies.
