I have both a corded and a cordless Dremel and I find them very 
useful.  My corded version has a very tightly coiled cord (telephone 
style) that I find inconvenient.  Either I have a large mass of cord 
right at the tool, or I feel like there's a big spring pulling me 
toward the electrical outlet.  Cordless obviously doesn't have this 
problem.  My corded model is over 20 years old, so I don't know if 
they still make the cords this way.

I think the key here is that if you ask people how the Dremel is as a 
"die grinder" you get negative comments.  I think it is a great tool 
that comes in handy lots of times.  But a die grinder is a different 
tool, able to handle bigger jobs.  Think of the Dremel like a 
Dustbuster, and the die grinder like the shop vacuum cleaner.  The 
Dustbuster is handy for lots of things, but it's not going to beat 
the big vacuum in a head-to-head cleaning test.
