In France there's the issue of train lines basically starting and ending in Paris mean that flights are pretty quick cutting across the country (Lyon-Nantes for example). But I think most people see domestic flights as a bother more than anything. The love for trains shows in the stats (second biggest per capita usage of trains after Japan), train stations are usually in the dead-center of town, and you don't have to deal with luggage limits.
