Absolutely! Especially with all of the environmentally friendly fibres that are now being used in modern cloth nappies such as bamboo, hemp and soy etc. Along with changes in washing habits, no longer are we soaking nappies in harsh chemicals we let the sun do what it does best and that's to kill bacteria.
Not just are they more environmentally friendly they are also easy to use!
With reusable nappies you are the one that decides what your ecological footprint will be based on how you wash the nappies, whether you use the dryer or hang on the line etc, with disposables you don't get that chance.
I know in Australia we throw away enough disposable nappies to fill the MCG 7 times every year... how sad is that? Anyone who honestly thinks that disposables are on par with their environmental impact need to familiarise themselves with the revised nappy impact study done in the UK which has found that cloth are substantially better for the environment than disposables.

Cloth nappies are typically made from natural fibers like cotton, hemp, or bamboo, while disposable diapers are primarily made from plastic, wood pulp, and superabsorbent polymers. Cloth nappies are reusable and generate less waste, but they require water and energy for washing, which can offset some environmental benefits. Disposable diapers, while convenient, contribute significantly to landfill waste and take hundreds of years to decompose. Overall, cloth nappies are generally considered more environmentally friendly due to their lower long-term waste and resource consumption, despite their higher initial resource use for production.
