Yes, it's useful. And time and time again I find the web tools lacking so I just clone the repository locally and use fully functional local tools. I always view the web interfaces as a sort of preview of the VCS content which you can use to determine if the patch you are looking for was pushed or to determine if the project code looks interesting (as opposed to the name and short description). The time when web interfaces are fully functional looks far far away. They are one of the available tools and they complement the tool set but are not replacement for the others.
