Definitely not. The thorns enchantment is way underpowered. It only works on a few mobs and takes forever to kill a mob with one. Not only that but it takes a tonne of durability off the armour. In other words, avoid it at all costs.
I made a video on it if you want to check it out, or not.
Yeah, it's an upcoming enchantment in the next update, . Sounds like it damages mobs whenever they deal damage to you, possibly inflicting a condition on them for a short while.
This new 'Thorns' enchantment is highly situational in terms of combat and survival. Melee creatures/players only too. So if someone has the 'Thorns' enchantment, and the other has a bow, they can easily pick you off. Though, you CAN get other enchants with it. Prot + Thorns.
This is actually a very useful enchantment for survival PVP servers. I mean for players that use bows, it can be pretty easy to dodge their shots, and you can just go close to them to finish them off. Then, if they attack you head on, they will take some damage while also taking damage from your sword, and if you have more/stronger armor than they have, they will take more damage than you. For mobs, it can come in handy, but I think the thorns enchantment is best for players. AND the durability isn't a big problem if you have an anvil.
Please post your comments!

Retired StaffI'm assuming not, but I'd just like to be sure. Could be useful against the wither =)
It doesn't.
The only mobs it works on are:
-Zombies
-Spiders
-Endermen
-Cave Spiders
-Zombie Pigmen
-Skeletons holding a sword.
-Other players punching/hitting you with a sword.
just because you're correct doesnt mean you're right
