A PD makes up for out lack of procedure. Many of us know the laws well enough and can help forumlate and aid in our own defense. How many standard users of PD's can say that?
Using a public defender instead of a private lawyer is that often PD's have just a good a relationship with the judges as the ADA's do. This balance and relationship can also prove to be helpful.
Don't underestimate the PD's. They are there for a reason and I doubt it is because they just couldn't find any other job.
