Personally I find the glare from matte displays far more annoying than that from glossy. It diffuses across the whole display and makes contrast much worse
It's interesting how people's personal preferences affect these things. I hate the gloss on my MacBookPro because it makes it very hard to watch any movie without being distracted by reflections on the screen.
I accept that it's an excellent screen, and if I was in a better environment (or doing professional work) I'd be grateful for the good screen.
