How often have you got your bike out and found that the valves have unexpectedly shattered due to their extreme fragility?
Valves are valves. Meh.
I've smashed one presta valve, but admittedly that was bombing a 150mm full sus down a rubbly slope so I'm not sure a schraeder valve would have fared much better!
Bent a couple of presta valve stems through sheer incompetence too.
I wouldn't get worked up over it particularly, but it does seem to me that schraeder valves are the better option.
