I'm not instrument rating and I agree that IR pilots will have more
flexibility with weather. But I believe the larger percentage of GA
pilots are not IR. And the while IR pilots have *more* flexibility, in
most cases, it is still not as reliable as commercial or ground
transportation.

If your purpose for flying is as a reliable mode of transportation, wouldn't
you do what is necessary to ensure it as such?

Would you stay with a learner's permit and complain that you can't drive at
night or on highways?
