raytracing, overrated or underrated?

Some people may not like Minecraft and may feel that raytracing is wasted on it but really, any utilization of this new technology is good for development.
The list of games that have adapted raytracing technologies is quite small but it's steadily growing. Triple A's like Battlefield and Metro were the first to use them last year and now we have developed it to the point where older games like Minecraft, Quake and Resident evil can utilize ray tracing and now a lot of upcoming games will be better optimized to run it smoothly.
