Do you seriously prefer all the heat and hassle of GPUs to the nice cute little USB mining dongles?
USB dongles could let scrypt mining spread to the masses without fear that a bunch of password crackers with banks of GPUs will PWN the coins; instead they will have to blow a fraction of the cost of a GPU on a specialised cute little munchkin miner.
What is so awful about that?
GPUs are a pain to deal with. Little USB munchkin miners are way the heck less hassle and heat and space and motherboards and so on.

Because just like ASICs, they will release new model after new model. Each with higher hash and each out dating the previous model. After a couple cycles of this only the rich will be able to afford the newest model of the scrypt ASIC and making money off coins for someone who doesn't have $10k+ to drop on the newest and fastest scrypt ASIC will be next to impossible. Not to mention huge difficulty spikes. I just hate them.
Coins for the rich.
Scraps for the poor.
That is what ASIC equates to in my mind. Call me crazy, but that is my opinion and that is how I see it.
GPU's are nice because a lot of people are restricted by the wattage and their power bills. This makes it fair game for everyone to have a chance to mine with their GPUs and have a chance to make money.
