I plan on keeping it around for visual documentation. I used goograb (http://sourceforge.net/projects/goograb/) to grab a google maps screenshot of my service area and set up dude to reflect my network topology. It helped clean the map up quite a bit since we added so much in the last couple of years. It adds a little bit of scrolling around.. but I don't mind it.
I have completely abandoned it for monitoring aside from if a node is red it's down. I only ping my devices.
