Yes and no.

The "no" part comes from people trying to twist a system designed for displaying static text into an application platform. And as an application platform it sucks. It's one of the most inefficient, slow, resource hungry app platforms that humanity has ever devised.

As a free somewhat open cross-platform means for information exchange, it really is unparalled.
