We have had some success using wave for discussions within the distributed development team, and it was been valuable and definitely better than text messaging, due to the ability to edit each others content and move towards a document that describes a conclusion (somewhere between a text conversation and a wiki). However, it is still not as nice as a wiki for longer living documentation, so we tend to want to port final discussions into our own wiki, and if there was a decent bot for that we'd be very happy.
So, my opinion is it is worth using, but I agree it is not without limitations.
