Anything less than a PR6 isn't really spectacular.

You sound like you're probably not a part of the target audience for this article.
It may not be "impressive" but you can't get to PR6 without getting to PR4 first. Everyone has to start form somewhere.
Once you get to around PR4, I think you start appearing in a decent proportion of the searches that are relevant, especially given Google's increasing de-emphasis of pagerank. I started appearing in most of the searches I'd consider relevant for one site of mine as soon as it got up to PR2. Heck, there are relatively well-known universities that are only PR5!
Agreed. My site went from 0-3 in about 6 months and I did absolutely nothing (and I mean nothing, I just wanted to write so I haven't considered SEO even a little) except write some blog articles.
Great, just a little more work and you can get PR4 with not much problem!
