Well I use it but you'll probably see by other people's answers that you can 
use different developers depending on what kind of grain you want and things 
like that!
Maybe you should stick around for different suggestions?  ;-)

I'd say no... but I do recommend some testing first on rolls that don't have 
really important images on them.. you know what I mean?  Just to make sure 
you like the grain size, contrast, stuff like that... 
It seems like you can change the negative by just using different techniques, 
developers....
