Compared to what? I don't think opinions on Scrum can be meaningful in the absence of a preferred alternative. Having a continuously working artifact that changes incrementally according to user feedback every couple weeks is probably a better idea than going from months of documents to months of code to months of tests to your first demo more than year later. But within the basic paradigm, methodology is mostly a way of describing what you were going to do anyway.
