As far as the end user, I used to spend all day up there with a belt and 
tag line, then with the harness and fall arrest. OTOH I can not stand to 
stand in one place for more than a few minutes, or my back and hips hurt 
like the toothache. I've been that way since I was young, but as age 
advances it's a bit more prevalent, so for me a work platform would 
likely be more of a detriment than help.

I'd say it depends on the individual. Like many things there are that 
swear by them and those that swear at them.<:-))
