Yes.  I think decimal adds value, but I'm afraid my strongest reason  
for thinking so is that decimal is getting added to other languages  
(C#, C++, Python) and JavaScript will be perceived as "not as useful/ 
modern/fashionable" if it doesn't have it and therefore get used less  
and therefore have a less healthy community of users.

I have other reasons too, but that's the strongest.
