Yes, while the current dev kit would have a hard time being a consumer success for easy to point out reasons, knowing that the consumer version will be qualitatively 10x-100x better (~4x resolution, content availability & quality, better form factor, positional tracking, low persistence, and the real key: 'presence'-inducing) lets you understand how many of the potential things that would stop VR from going big very soon will basically be non-factors.

I'm hopeful 1440p will be fairly text friendly and prove good-enough for programming, etc. but even if not quite there, that merely means that threshold will be broken a year or two down the line.
