frahse, I think the trend is good. Dropping spinning discs makes a laptop smaller, the battery lasts longer, and I no longer fear any mechanical shocks. I personally won't buy another PC (laptop or desktop) that doesn't use SSD for its primary drive. The difference in general snappiness is amazing and prices have dropped enough to consider a 128 GB SSD a commodity.
If I need a CD/DVD I hook up a generic (cheap) USB external drive. I use multiple external hard drives for storage outside my PC's (I really should migrate to a NAS system) and flash-memory cards for in-PC extra storage (for any MBA users, two thumbs up for the Nifty Minidrive card tray with a 64 GB card, slightly expensive but very nice).
