Is SKEW-T still important to soaring pilots ?

Having used XC skies and now Topmeteo, I wonder what's the need to get the forecasted SKEW -T diagram to points along your task. Will you as, a pilot, get any better prediction of soaring conditions if you use both ? Dan i still like to use the forecast skew-t to help estimate the trigger time and temperature. also helps get a good idea of how the cu will develop during the day. whether they will spread out and create overcast or thin out as the boundary layer lifts into dryer air aloft, or blow up into thunderstorms.
