I feel great artists are not reaaaaally useful if not going cultural. And I don't like them for golden ages either, because every spent GP gives you less and less GA time, and I'm already generating tons of Great Merchants from my puppet empire, so why bother, really.
It seems I'm the only one that believes the FP is good (check my 2 previous votes for the detailed reasons). What surprises me the most is that people that are downvoting it are doing it because it doesn't help with small empires. Well, duh. Pentagon doesn't help if you are not a warmonger, Angkor Wat doesn't help if you are growing large. That doesn't mean they aren't good wonders, that means you aren't using them correctly (or you just happened to conquer the city that built it, or had a spare great engineer and didn't know what to use it for).
So I'm okay with people that don't like FP because they think that its benefits are too low for a wide empire (say 12+ cities), and that there are easier ways to get happiness, even if I do believe that for REALLY large empires it's a must, and it's not always easy to go and get the city that built it, depending on the map and the civ (say, a chinese city in the middle of another continent, for example). But downvoting it because it sucks for a tall empire (which, let's be clear, it does) seems like missing the point of the wonder.

too situational and underpowered compared to other concurrently available wonders.
