Despite all the criticism, I suspect most people wouldn't be annoyed to receive one as a gift (assuming they've already bought into the Apple ecosystem and so can use it).
If nothing else, Apple makes very well-built, attractive products... if you didn't spend $400 on it, it's a nice little thing to have around.
That's sort of how I feel about it generally. It's not even remotely world-changing, but it is a nice little thing that could provide a bit of added convenience for many people.
