I like it. The disadvantage is that you may need some adapters. Has the world switched to HDMI yet? (I'm still using VGA and PS2, but I have USB keyboards.)
There's a lot of both HDMI and DVI out there. New monitors tend to have both jacks. I believe VGA is in sharp decline due to not being able to drive today's screen sizes well.
There are a lot of inexpensive ($5USD - $10USD) HDMI -> VGA adapters:
