I think it is good whether or not you are rendering text and graphics.

Half of the programs I write in PostScript don't use graphical output.
(And one (a Z-machine interpreter) which does produce graphical output
but is not its primary use.)

(Note that by "graphical output" I am including rendering text on a page,
as well as graphics on a page. Some programs don't render anything on a
page, such as those that only deal with files or standard I/O.)
