I had a lot more sympathy for Spirit once I realized that they're charging (only) for bags that don't fit under the seat in front of you. Checked luggage fees have chased a ridiculous amount of stuff into the cabin, and I suspect getting a bit more balance there would be better all around.
Mind you, I'm still flying Jet Blue lately (one checked bag included in fare) more than anything else.
...and I started typing the parenthetical comment in the last paragraph as "one free checked bag" before correcting it. Unbundling of the traditional fare setup is kind of annoying from a user interface perspective, but for things that actually make a significant difference (which I believe baggage carriage vs. not does) it makes some sense, too.
