Is Sharpshooter worth it?

So, is Sharpshooter good? When would you take Sharpshooter? Yes. This is a godlike feat for any character primarily attacking via ranged weapons.

The main draw is the toggle. +10 Damage is HUGE. -5 Accuracy hurts, but there are many many ways around this. The Archery fighting style alone is already +2. Advantage is also huge to counter this.
