It's not worth having the debate, in my opinion. You either love it or you hate it. I hate it. Others love it. And neither side is going to be able to change the other's minds.

Sometimes people change their minds: I did. I used to be a hardcore supporter of no DH then I went to the DH side and now I find I like watching games better with no DH (I find the switches keeps my mind intrigued), but I like playing (IRL and in OOTP) with a DH better (it's simpler and more offensive).
I do like the idea that the DH keeps good hitters in the game longer and I do like that it keeps terrible hitting pitchers from boring us. Plus, pitchers can still hit as a DH if they're good enough that you'd want them to. There's just something missing from the mental side of the game when you use the DH though and I know people like to say the only stuff that changes is stuff that is mindless, but I disagree. It leads to so much more speculation as to, "oh, they really should have done this or that". I also like that with so many more position players getting used it seems like that much more of a team effort.
