It has > worked for me and out 80 machines for years. X uses a lot of ressources, thus I don't want to jump in graphical mode, if I want to launch a very long computation, for example. I do a lot of things in console mode, and don't need X so much. However, sometimes, I need X to see pictures, for example. And it is also convenient to have a windowed environment. That's why I like being able to launch X or shut it down whenever I want. On another machine, which has much more ram/CPU, and is used by a lot of other people than me, I use gdm and that's fine.
