I'm a Protestant, and I've found the Fathers to be very powerful commentators and theologians. I especially enjoy St. John Chrysostom, controversial though some may find him, and-of course-St. Augustine.

But any of the Fathers are like a breath of clear, fresh air compared to the majority of what passes for God-talk these days. Anyone who talks smack on them hasn't read them.

Luther and Calvin also relied on the Fathers, although they did not put as much stock in their authority as Catholics did. Both Reformers and the Catholic theologian Jansen put too much stress on Augustine’s views, and not enough on those of the Greek Fathers.
