Domain whois is absolutely useful. Try contacting a site to report that their nameservers are hosed without it.
A lot of WHOIS servers do not show who's running the name servers, or who maintains the data served by them. Those that do usually provide information which is provably wrong.
Remember that about 50% of zones have not RFC compliant name servers (the software is broken) and that newer resolver depend on default behaviour working correctly.
If WHOIS records were useful for contacting operators, you wouldn't have to raise these issues on public lists periodically.
