It'd possibly be good for very gentle commuting too. Last Festive 500 it was mainly dry so I didn't use it at all.
Although I found the softshell similarly specialist, even with the vents. I've cut my winter wardrobe down to an l/s jersey or a Pro-Team Jacket and a Rain Jacket depending on the conditions.

An alternative viewpoint from my end is that I wore my hardshell a lot over winter when out on Z2 type longer rides. Anything high-intensity and you will boil, but when you are (for e.g.) racking up miles for the Festive 500 and it's around zero then it's great.
