Not entirely, they can perhaps be useful for prototyping stuff. Should they
be used for released products? No.

driver development…Which is the best???
- There are cases you can have all your hardware access code in the
use
mode. Writing driver in user mode isolates the programmer from any
DDK/kernel.
Any such tools are just plain harmful, since they degrade the NT’s
stability to a Win9x level of stability. No normal OS must allow user mode
accesses to the hardware just because the developer is lazy or his boss has
tight deadlines.
