I have to disagree. Deckers _can_ be a poor choice of character, but
that's mainly because they do something mostly unrelated to the other PCs.
But much the same can be said about an astrally-projecting magician or a
drone rigger. After my last character got killed trying to wrestle with an
ant spirit, my current char is a decker who prefers to stay out of
trouble, but so far hasn't succeeded very well yet...
Anyway, to have a "good" decker character, IMHO you need a decker who
doesn't just sit at home and do shadowruns from there; what you want is a
decker who has more than one talent. Like a combat decker (fight & deck),
a negotiator-type (deck & haggle over fees), a decker with lots of
contacts (so the team can get a lot of info), or some other
decker/whatever combination.
