Worth or not... :-) v5 current status is far from being usable, let be 
honest.

What seems to be working quite well and already used for a few real 
projects is the FLOW3 framework even if it has not reached a stable 
status. Until now v5 has been more some "incubator" and development 
environment for features we have been integrating one way or the other 
into v4. Extbase and Fluid to name the most well known of them. Some 
know-how has been backported from v5 too when it comes to ExtJS for 
instance.

v4 won't die tomorrow and as long as there is no TYPO3 5.0 out. We 
cannot really speak of a "transition path" from v4 to v5 as there is no 
"target" at hand; v5 evolves as we speak. As such, all those refactoring 
are worth them IMHO. Who knows, one day we may have a v4 BE which will 
look quite similar to what we can see in the v5 BE ;-)
