I sincerely hope not. Not what most people would call a flattering effect. Try it and see.

Ultra wide angle is handy for interiors certainly. I also find it useful for exterior architecture as you can get whole buildings in without having to tilt and thus reducing the effect of converging verticals.

I guess most people will use them for landscapes, but it requires a very well thought out composition to work well as the foreground will often appear distant, even when it isn't.
