It sounds like it will be amazingly valuable scientifically by imaging in the infrared, and of course, it should be a lot easier to build a massive mirror (or set of mirrors) for a longer wavelength.

I doubt it will capture the hearts of the public (me!) in the same way as Hubble with its stunning nebulae images though.
