Is Medium Armour Master worth it?

So, is Medium Armour Master good? When would you take Medium Armour Master? "No". This sounds alot better than it is. Let's look at the optimal scenario here - It's "maximized" by characters that have exactly 16 Dexterity, and want to continue using Medium Armor.

If that niche Scenario is you, then good - you get +1 AC and no Stealth penalties. Is that worth a feat? Most of the time I'd say no. If there's a very specific medium armor you love, and have 16 DEX, maybe this is just the feat for you - but for most of us, we're likely to look elwewhere.

The Stealth aspect of this feat is a non-factor most of the time.
