Not entirely—we have to understand statistics and the anthropic principle, which states "observations of the physical Universe must be compatible with the conscious life that observes it." (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle). In other words, our situation appears "perfect" because it was one of the many random combinations available which produced an observer able to look at it. In other words, the fact that our solar system is so stable might just be a random anomaly, but the fact that it was so stable resulted in our existence, and therefore our contemplation of the fact.
As an analogy, winning the lottery is extremely rare—if you go and interview the person who won the lottery, they must think themselves very lucky. But on the grand scale, the probability of someone winning the lottery in the entire pool is exactly one. We know that a winner necessarily exists—just as we know that we, as winners of the cosmic lottery, necessarily exist. But that just tells us that someone won the lottery—something we already knew.
It may be that the lottery is rigged, and that there are some characteristics of our particular solar system which are amenable to life, and those things are definitely valuable to study and find out, so that we might be able to recognize other solar systems capable of supporting life in some way.
But by no means is our solar system special in any light: it's only special in that its particular conditions produced lifeforms able to observe it.

Another random question: are the planetary systems we've discovered similar to each other? If ours is significantly deviant from a significant clustering that would be pretty interesting. And of course, that's surely what the original findings were probably about.
