The usefulness of this switch depends from my experience primarily
from two project aspects:

1. How verbose is your build: If all commands are echoed than you
easily miss a warning in the mass of scrolling output. If on the other
hand only filenames (or even nothing) is logged on success every new
warning looks ugly and "wants" to be removed.

2. How disciplined is your team: There are quite some guys around who
will ignore every warning and pretend to have missed it, but with
-Werror they need to mod the Makefile to go on like that. But then
it's not carelessness anymore but purpose - so they won't do it :-)

In my personal opinion -Werror "needs" additional options to disable
certain warnings. In Contiki i.e. you've got lots of "unused
parameter" warnings, which I don't want to see - and certainly don't
want to break the build.

Best, Oliver
