On the plus side, it makes spotting warnings/errors easier.
It does look a little cleaner, as well.
On the down side
-it complicates makefiles
-it hides what's happening (and often the flags gcc gets are the biggest problem)
-you can review the errors in full context later with
make 2>&1 | tee errors.log -
So my vote is that it isn't worth the effort.
