Well, yeah, when it's this song:
And I'm only partly joking. My playcount for that song across all my devices has to be waaay up there by now.
But for me, 90% of the draw of the Echo is that I don't have to stop what I'm doing and go to the device. I just ask her for the song, the weather, to do math for me, random questions... And though I don't have any automation stuff going on yet, having to press a button to get Alexa to turn off the light would just ruin all of the fun.
(And defeat the purpose. I mean, if I gotta get up anyway I might as well just turn it off myself.)
I think it really comes down to what you're using it for. Matter of preference.
