Hi, I surpose it depends on the sort of thing you're wanting to do with your device. If you like accessing the file system, changing voices& making custom actions with activator then yes, jailbreaking is always going to hold some appeal to you.
However, these just aren't things that the average user isn't going to want to do, in fact, I'd perhaps go as far as saying that the average user really shouldn't be exposed to the file system anyway. Perhaps I didn't phrase my previous message overly well. There are still many reasons to jailbreak, but it's by no means something that everyone needs to do. Cheers, Ben.
