It was deprecated in C++11, and a removed in C++17, yet now they are discussing adding it back in a flavour similar to Swift, so apparently there is some value into it.
As for being useless, well that is the usual argument from no exception, no RTTI folks, that would be better off using another language instead of messing up with C++'s design.

I'm very much in favour of statically checked exceptions (and noexcept is sorta-kinda like that). It is the old dynamically typed style which was little more than an assertion that wasn't very useful.
