I think it's a good idea as long as they keep the checked baggage fees to a minimum or none. I personally hate that some people carry-on these huge bags that they can barely lift and try to stuff them into the overheads. Besides taking up more space so other people don't have any, It takes much longer to get boarded and to disembark. All because people don't want to wait at the other end for their bags to appear.
Also makes me angry to see a person put their bag in an overhead many rows ahead of their own row, instead of over their own seats. Seems wrong to take someone elses overhead space.
When I fly, the only carry-on I have is usually my wheely backpack with my camera in it (I absolutely will not check my camera equipment.) and it fits neatly under the seat. If I have a jacket I will sometime toss it in an overhead, but it usually fits in the backpack as well. (I have been known to open the suitcase in the airport to stuff my jacket in it before I check it.) Everything else is checked.
