I really like clean URLs.  For example, I far prefer a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidy over something like http://www.gravitycomputing.co.nz/cgi-bin/gen.pl?id=4&category=M753n&style=gw3b (don’t even try it, that’s a fake link).  For me, it’s a matter of ‘the tidier the better’, because the less in the URL, the less people have to remember when they try to find things again.
