I grew them for many years. Basically they are ok if you live in the tropics and can't get other raspberries to fruit otherwise. They are one of the few that will fruit without any cold weather. If you don't live in the tropics you can find many other raspberries that are much tastier.

I grow them for reasons Oscar has already touched upon.  Not a big fan of the thorns, and the frst time I tried them (mango season/summer), I thought they were rather bland.  I decided I wouldn't grow them, but then I tasted them at Fruit & Spice Park in the winter, and they were fantastic!

The thorns are easy to deal with if the runners are trained on a wire or fence. This also makes the fruits a lot easier to pick fast, and keeps the plant from spreading out of control. Once a runner hits ground it roots and starts a new plant.
