Bad idea. Forces you into a fixed movement pattern which may not be ideal for your body. If you have problems with a rep its harder to get out under the bar despite having the ability to roll the bar into the pins. You will not be able to do this with the sort of weight you need to squat. With a barbell you can just jump out and throw the bar back.
Lighter front squats seem to be ok on the smith machine, but if your serious about building a pair of well muscled strong legs then the avoid at all costs.
