Although I agree that getting involved in your writing is the main aspect of writing a story, I think that Write or Die has its uses.
It has helped me produce a whole load of information about characters and plot, simply because I have to write them NOW.
I wouldn't use Write or Die to write a whole novel, because I type into it in quite random fashion and don't care about typos, POV's, etc. But as something to get the creative juices flowing at the beginning of a story, I find it invaluable.
