I'm with you Jared.  Until I am shown an absolute good reason for doing
this then I am sticking with normal file systems.

If you would, please share with us your reasons to avoid ASM. Based on
your response, I'm guessing that the reasons might include "because
that's the way I've always done it". 



Personally, I don't use it as it adds more complexity to our
environment.

We (by which I really me 'I') don't need to add any more complexity.

* Additional instance for ASM
* file management is simpler
* storage admins have easy direct access to see what's on disk.

I'm sure there are some rebuttals to this.

Let's hear 'em!
