I'm in enough places without easy access to outlets. Even in a restaurant (like a Denny's or something) where I'll go without that many outlets. At least the starbucks around my area don't have that many plugs either. Another advantage of having such a long battery life is that I basically can go anywhere after work (where I do have a charger) and not worry about plugging it in at all until the next day. Also, not having to carry around my charger makes carrying around my laptop great. It's definitely a priority thing, and also dependent on lifestyle. In college there were power outlets basically everywhere so I didn't have the issue, but ever since I've started working in various spots not having to look for the power outlet has been a net benefit.
