In the sense that it's detection of an object that's hard to detect, of which few are known, and that exists under unusual conditions, it's cool indeed.
But from the point of view of people who find planets interesting primarily for their potential to harbor life, I would suspect that rogue planets are particularly inhospitable and thus not all that interesting.
