GPUs are SIMD machines, does that color whether it seems rare? Coming from a graphics background and working on GPUs, I am super biased, but I say it's very worth the hassle. The easiest intro IMO is check out & play around in ShaderToy. You don't have to know much about SIMD to write shaders, but once you start paying attention to how the machine works, you can make it go really fast. In general, using something like CUDA is similar to C++ you just have to make sure all your threads do as close to the same thing as possible in order to see good perf.
