Is submitting to blog directories worth it?

Sorry if I'm being too forward, as I know some of my favorite members here are also blog directories owners, but it's just something that is on my mind today.

I am unleashing several new blogs to the world. Not splogs, original posts, originals blogs and all that. What I wonder is, will submitting them to blog directories give me any added benefit? It's a lot of work, when some directories probably won't even bother listing it and others will just not send any worthwhile traffic. I just checked my stats for a blog that I submitted to ~40 directories over a year ago. I only see two of them in the referrers logs and the number of visitors is very small. Any decent link exchange gets me more.

So, I am wondering, why bother submitting to directories? Do you still do that?
