Only if you're like right next to the car. I prefer to remote start my car when I'm more than a few minute walk away from it so it actually has a chance to warm up or cool down. Starting it ten seconds before I get to the car is practically worthless.

Having just switched from an "old-school" car to one of these "keyless" types, I think the problem is actually self-reinforcing -- the keyless entry and start stuff means you interact with the key less and less so you're more likely to forget to interact with it to lock the car. I can't think of a time I forgot to lock my old school car and yet it's happened more than once with the newer car since I got it a few months ago.
