Proud owner of a UPS since '94 here! I have to agree. You wouldn't want to
let someone choke you only a little occasionally so why let brown-outs do
the same to your hardware? ;)
And for those nice surprises, like when a local transformer explodes on it's
pole down the street, a UPS lets you save your work first, then shut down
gracefully.
And when you're on the road, it's neat to have when you want to plug in
stuff to try them out for a few minutes. And we all know how 'smooth' hotel
power is-- all the doom rooms at cons have UPSes, especially the rattier
hotels.
