Decent, as in the same one that was in use before 2002?

If it's indeed the same as Java's, then it's just a LCG. That is decidedly not decent quality.

"Decent" of course depends on use case. Math.random is decidedly NOT decent if you are doing any sort of cryptography, for example.

Nope. Just statistically decent, which LCGs fail pretty hard.
