Somewhat... till someone comes along and changes your php.ini, or you transfer your code to another server and forget to enable magic quotes. At which time everything is open to the sky. More secure to have it disabled and then accidentally have it enabled and have double quoting taking place :) IMHO magic quotes are right up there with register globals in the "nice idea" but "not in practice" features. It's a prime example of where protecting newbies from themselves makes everything more painful in the long run.
