A well-made index is a great help, even for electronic viewing. By well-made
I mean that it incorporates expertise on where to find the nitty-gritty.
Say I want to know something about \zqu.
A text search gives me a dozen hits. Daniel's index gives me one: the
one I need.
And if you \usepackage{hyperref}, then you can just click the page
number in the index when viewing the PDF file and that puts you straight
on that page.
A poorly-made index is no use at all, I agree.
