Not really, if the gains are big enough.

Do you know how long it takes to render a photorealistic image for some architecual design (what i partially do for a living), not to mention render special effects for some movie or an entire CG movie?

It always makes me smile when i see some comments on here from ppl complaining about 2fps encodes on their laptops.

A movie only needs to be encoded once for disc distribution. After that its just copies. So what even if it takes a whole weekend. Is that really such a big problem??

Sure, broadcasting and other areas where realtime encodes might be required is another story but i dont think thats the current target they have in mind. H264 is still more than capable (as mentioned many times here already). Its not because there is H265 that you suddenly arent allowed to use H264 anymore... And when the hardware catches up, switch to H265 if you want.
