There is always the consideration of an engine failure. On takeoff or
landing, I'd prefer to be pointed into the wind if the prop stops,
rather than having to land downwind or attempt a low altitude turn
into the wind...

I'd rather be pointed into the wind, too, but if the failure happens away
from the field, I think I'd be a lot less concerned with landing into the
wind than I would in actually making the field.
