Not at all; it's there as an option for people who have
"secure" workstations and/or want single-signon for SSH. I often use
ssh-agent if I have lots of remote CVS commits to do consecutively,
e.g. do 'ssh-agent tcsh' and then ssh-add in the subshell, and exit when
I'm done.
ssh-add will also only invoke ssh-askpass if invoked with no controlling
terminal, e.g. ssh-add < /dev/null or if called during the X login
process. Otherwise it uses the good old (internal) text prompt.
