It would still be great - just not as good as some alternatives. But if you're doing development spinning up 32 cores is a very realistic proposition (compilers are good at parallelizing work, especially on big projects, spinning up dev cluster locally, etc.) - so you're getting a top productivity machine that can game - if you can afford it and are not interested in chasing gaming benchmarks then I don't see how it wouldn't be great.
