I'll definitely miss it. If your Mac won't start, or you have a desktop and the monitor's acting up, it's convenient to have some indication of what's going on. Not that zapping the PRAM often solved anything, but it'll be more difficult now that there's no indication how many times the machine has restarted. But the nostalgia (I'd call it the Pavlov response) is the biggest part. Hearing the chime as I sit down to get some work done is a cozy way to get into the swing.
