No.

o It's cumbersome and unesthetic, particularly in the way it formats an EDIT
  panel with each line appearing as an individual 3-d shaded text entry area.

o It requires a specialized display "agent" running on each display server,
  rather than employing a portable display protocol such as X11.  (Is there
  an agent available for OS X?  Linux (what hardware platforms?) Other 
(specify)?)

o The ATTN key doesn't work.

OTOH:

o If started from batch it bypasses VTAM restrictions, allowing multiple
  interactive ISPF sessions for a single user on a single host.

o It allows circumvention of certain restricted licenses which limit the
  number of interactive TSO users.  (Don't tell IBM.)
