I would want it for BP round in SAA pattern revolvers. The hope would be to get 158 or 180gr .357 at over 1000fps (i.e. good SD at high velocities for BP). Kind of an upsized .32-20 concept.
To me there is a difference between the plain jane "didn't bother with styling it just works" kind of blocky-ugly of the hi-point and to some degree the glock and the "I intentionally stuck a bunch of stupid *&^$%6 on it" ugly of the ruger 22 in the original post.
Personally I would take the...
I would consider the .38 S&W to be somewhat the better of the two due to its ability to use much heavier bullets effectively. A 140+gr lead flat nose or wadcutter should provide pretty reliable penetration at even the modest velocities that the .38 can safely manage. JMHO.

I can't predict the future but my take on it has always been that it was a solution in search of a problem. There is nothing drastically wrong with the round as such but I don't see a need for a .32 loudenblaster. I guess if you really wanted something like that there is always the Ruger SA .30...
