My main reason for not checking luggage is queuing to check it in, not collecting at the other end. Some airports it's 5 minutes of a job, some airports it's upwards of an hour. If airports became less shit, or luggage fees less outrageous, I wouldn't mind checking my bag.
I only ever have one bag though, some people do take the piss. Generally though they'll take wheely suitcases to check at the gate so you're OK with a rucksack.
