Maybe in your case: not in mine. The flow of the text, and the fact that you can have both more advanced formatting and hyphenation are enough reasons for me to use PDF.

Maybe you don't need a text with "justify" done the right way, hyphenation, real footnotes and good looking chapter headings. But that's not the case for everyone.

Not using PDF, and asking for lack of PDF support are 2 VERY different things.
