Depends on your level of paranoia. Qubes is really cool anyway if you're a control freak.

Qubes is good for using one computer to satisfy multiple threat profiles. E.g. if you want to shitpost on Facebook, visit shady websites, and ghostwriting for a controversial magazine _all without linking those three activities_, then Qubes is the OS for you.
