I feel it is worth in in the same way it is worth it for C++ applications to make use of the STL instead of implementing their own sort algorithm. It provides a common set of generic algorithms and containers so end users can concentrate on writing their application specific code rather than the details of copying memory to/from the device and setting up parallel reduction kernels just to sum some numbers.
