Given the choice between having optical drives and not having them, I still 
prefer to have one.  I suppose the Internet is making them obsolete, but I
find an occasional use for them.  I also still occasionally use my USB floppy
drive from time to time, as well.  I suppose most people are not into retro
computing, so..  I just watched a video of a guy that was able to use his
USB floppy drive on his iPad.  Things like that interest me.

As for LightScribe, I haven't used that in ages.  It was a great technology, 
as it basically turned your optical drive into a label etcher.  I guess now,
they just make all the media printable.  I guess that would work as well,
but I use a laser printer.  I've never actually had a printer that could 
print on optical media.
