My answer to the question posed in the title is "no". And the four reasons posited in this short post - rich text, editing posts, instant audience, and aceess to search - do nothing to convince me. I have all those on my currentl platform, and for that matter, pretty much any platform. And what I don't have in Google+ is an API to pretty much any non-Google application, no RSS, nothing beyond the Google silo. Yes, it's a very large silo, but it's not the internet, and it's not the future.
