Only if the user feels a need for whatever stats DD-WRT is providing or has a need for dynamic DNS support which can't be provided some other way - I have an IP camera and a NAS box both of which can do this plus of course all the main providers offer PC client software too and in fact that's what I run.
The real show stoppers which are hard to get around on the Superhub if they are needed imo are..
Poor wifi range although there are plenty of extenders so that doesn't rule out hub mode. Simultaneous dual band means extra hardware but again you could run the hub on 5GHz and use a cheap 2.4GHz AP.
No QoS - that pretty much does rule out hub mode if needed.
Comprehensive usage stats that aren't lost by a reboot.
Instability - I don't get this although some people do. I'm not sure putting it in modem mode fixes the problem either.
Obscure incompatibilities with X Boxes, PlayStations, etc. I'm not sure if these still crop up but I expect they do.
I suspect that the SH is indeed good enough for most in hub mode and modem mode should cater for the rest.
I'm living with it in hub mode rather than pleased with it and may eventually have a need for something that will force me into either using my Dir655 again or buying something better.
