Yea, you should really get into them. I highly recommend it. I think one reason people are turned off by cleans is the technique is kind of hard to learn (certainly harder than benching for example). And it's even dangerous if you don't get it right (you could pull a muscle or let the weight drop on you).
But here's one thing power-cleans does to you that nothing else does: After 3 sets of cleaning, I have a pool of sweat around me. I don't get that way with any other workout, not with squats or benching. It is byfar the most intense workout ever. It really takes the life out of you... which is why you gain so fast on them.
