Many of the ideas and practices in "agile" in general seem to me still to be very relevant and useful. It can be used for good or evil (or just given lip-service without even really trying), but I think there is good advice and ideas there for those who are approaching it trying to do well.
But "scrum" specifically has always seemed to me the worst of "agile", a system intentionally designed to turn the developer's experience into a fordist sweatshop cranking out as much productivity as possible, treating the developer like a commodified interchangeable part. It's like as if "economic efficiency over humanity" were part of the agile manifesto (it ain't).
