Yes, I don't actually use it explicitly as a training tool, but I used my fixed to commute, occasionally tour, and train when the weather is really nasty in winter but I still want to get out. The main benefits are those that sheldon lists as applying to riding in general such as removing the instinct to coast, but I also find it increases my ability in the hills. If I had the money/space I'd add a fixed TT bike to the stable (ideally replicating my position on the geared TT) and use it for evening 10s...
