To finish or not to finish...

So Jose and I have been living in Diamond Bar for about 2.5 years (we bought the house a few months before we got married). The previous owners were Del and Diana, and they had different ideas about what a house should look like. So largely we have spent the last 2.5 years fixing what they did to the house. So what's cool is that the house really feels like we've put our finger print on it and we love it. But now we've come to the garage.
Last weekend Jose and Jonathan and Jonathan and My brother Jim put up drywall because even though Del was a handyman, he never got around to finishing his own garage. But now, I'm finding that some people don't think a garage needs to be finished at all! Even though we'll be working again this coming Saturday finishing it with paint and everything else, it looks great! It feels like a prettier work space and it's much more inviting to do the laundry.
So, you know our opinion: Finish the space! But let me ask, how many of you think that a garage doesn't need to be finished? I really thought everyone agreed that we should finish the garage, but I'd like to know for sure (so here's my completely unscientific poll).

My parent's garage is "unfinished" and it never really bothered me. Mine does have drywall and I've always wanted to paint huge stripes in it...just never got around to it.
