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.) -- Don't laugh at the moon when it is day time in France.
