they have benefits as long as you dont go over board. Some people get dimple fever and dimple everything and everything they can. A dimpled piece of 1/8" will have great strength and stiffness with out the weight of thicker steel.

get the bolt trough option if you dont have a press as you can use a bolt to dimple instead of the press.Bent Fab Evo4 Rockwell Buggy

It's obviously effective for adding strength, considering that's the whole point of them.
But half the time I see them they are completely overused, and look goofy as hell. Not to mention, it doesn't seem like a very cost effective option for the average fabricator.
