I never used LVM either, but in my defense, these were/are factory
systems where it was extremely unlikely that the system would grow and
require more storage, and if one did, we'd have to remove the smaller
drives and put in bigger ones.

More recently, I've been tasked with caring for systems whose
requirements are much more subject to change, and LVM has proven it's
value there. This is especially true in SAN or virtual environments
where the storage admins might just say "ok, here's another 100gb
'disk' for you".

So, it depends on your environment as much as your preferences. Yeah,
it takes some getting used to, but so did electric typewriters :).
