as a ranger i use the bow alot, but since the new rules for spell disruption (concentration tests,etc) it is harder to disrupt a spell being cast then it was in BG2/1. I like melee as dual wielding looks cool, does more dammage and in multiplayer gives you a good chance of gettting the loot!
however, i do think that bows are weaker then they should be, although i also realise that they can quickly become too powerfull aswell.
All in all it depends on the situation, but given an equal choice then melee..
