Take it when
Anything that has to open on someone else's machine without a conversation about drivers. Thirty years of tooling assumes it.
Watch out for
Field names are truncated to 10 characters and the DBF attribute table has no real text encoding declaration, so long assessor column names arrive mangled. The 2 GB per-file ceiling is a real limit on the biggest urban counties.
