I could see having one around to use as a backup, but I agree, unless there are known issues with a stock ethernet port I can't think of a reason to avoid it.
As for buying a laptop/tablet without an ethernet port, having to buy an adapter is just yet more cost that could be avoided with multiple quality laptops instead of a state of the art ultrabook/tablet.
