From the point of view of live sound, yes. From the point of view of
a filmmaker, no.

From the point of view of a filmmaker, you'll get better noise rejection
from a good hypercardioid 90% of the time. Now, that last 10% of the
time (mostly when room ambience isn't an issue), the shotgun can be a
lifesaver. But it shouldn't be your go-to mike for any interior work
if you have a decent hyper in the kit.
