This thread is probably going to get ugly, but here are my 5 cents:
YES, absolutely, I would love to have an oil dipstick. It just makes it much faster to read the oil level, and I love electronics, but they f*&k up too, so I'd much rather visually see the oil level on my car.
Let me give you one example; I was at the Nurburgring this past weekend. I warmed up the car for about 25 minutes, and still no oil reading. I RAN a lap and STILL no oil reading. Now, I already knew I was good to go because I remembered seeing it the night before, but still! All I'm saying is: an oil dipstick would make things easier for me. Perhaps many people do not mind at all, but I do. So, I side with the OP on this one; I hear you brotha'.
Finally, to answer the other question; I do track my car, and push it hard whenever I get a chance to. I only had to add 1/2qt. once, and this was between the first service and second oil change.
