IMO, you need to follow a workout or set of workouts. Otherwise, it's dead boring. I broke my clavicle in June, and for 2 months, the trainer was all I could do.
I've never done zwift, but a lot of people love it.
I wound up getting some powertap pedals, and in combination with my hr monitor, speed, and cadence, my fitness improved tremendously. I only had a simple mag trainer, and you can do a lot with it.

I used two countdown watches to time the long and short intervals, and I had the TdF on the screen and the music on.
