Dreaded mod_rewrite and friendly URLs?

Hi,

Just managed to test whether or not I can use mod_rewrite on my server using this simple code in my .htaccess file within my root directory

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^test.php /apagethatexists.php [L]


So I could have a link in my site such as http://www.mysite.com/test.php which is actually showing the page http://www.mysite.com/apagethatexists.php.

So I was wondering should I go through this effort to change my dynamically written links such as http://www.mysite.com/articles.php?type=news so they show http://www.mysite.com/articles/news

I know google can handle dynamic links but is this a better way of writting URLs?
