Yes, but unlike a regular remote I don't find myself pressing the same button 100 times.
I no longer watch broadcast television, so there is no need to flip through channels to see what is on, I just select what I want to watch on my phone, and then tell my phone to play it on my roku/TV.
The interface could still use a lot of work, but remotes are very clearly stuck in the last century and we've just gotten very used to them.
