it really worth having it open?

Yes. It provides a vital link across the Isle of Dogs, in turn connecting
East London to South London without the need to go through the centre.

Doesn't the DLR do that?


Not really. The DLR will dump you in Greenwich, from where you'll have
to get a train to London Bridge to get to pretty nearly anywhere else.
The Jubilee line, on the other hand, will take you directly to useful
places (like London Bridge or Waterloo), and will do it a lot quicker
too.
