So my questions are:
- Is it usefull ?

Having both versions be able to be installed side by side is immensely valuable for an end user, and the development of kicad, in my opinion.

The users can "USE" the stable version for their work.  They can also test the Nightly and not worry about it messing with their work.  It should mean that general users have a better chance to test the new version as it evolves, and they will feel more involved, even if that involvement is only posting bugs.  They don't have to choose between being on the bleeding edge, and being productive.

It would be equally useful (maybe even more useful) to have kicad V4 and V5 installed simultaneously as well.
