Absolutely! Though it's roughly as good to have the current cursor
position shown in a status line somewhere, and takes up less real
estate.
I have to disagree -- if someone is standing next to you
and they want to refer to a particular line, they can't
really tell you "move the cursor to that line there, so I
can read its line number from status line and then tell
you I'm referring to that line".
