Lightbox JS is just a way to add a modal dialog to your site. It's not a question of whether it's cool - it's more of a case of 'does your site need a modal dialog / window?'.
If you need this functionality - there might be other implementations which are more suitable. Lightbox JS was one of the first available, iirc.

not for a portfolio it's not. it's like the kiss of death.

So... what would be a good option?

Depends what you're using it for. I was tired of lightbox ages ago, but it's still great to use for certain things. Using it with thumbnails for a portfolio site - terrible, don't do it.

It is for a personal side project, (not my real portfolio), but for my photos folio. Most of the people visiting this site will find it OK so I am not stressing it... I think :S
