It does the job, and I imagine it's better than using the vendor-supplied software on Windows, if that's even an option.
A couple things I don't like about gphoto2 are:
1) If you don't use the --shell mode, then it initializes the camera before each command. This can take a long time, like a minute or more, and you have to do it at least twice, once to get a listing of files and then to download your range of new ones.
2) If you do use the --shell mode, the initialization only happens once, but the shell is fairly primitive so you can't download files by range or pattern. So it only seems good for getting a very small number of files. (Maybe there's a newer version where this has been improved?)
