Whatever gets rid of LVM is good on my book. I've never understood why people uses it, and in my experience it only brings headaches.
One very big reason to have been using it on linux - since it is only relatively recently that zfs has been an option, and now btrfs is getting there - and about the only reason I use it, is for snapshots, which bring consistent point-in-time backups for things like mail servers....
Others use it for it filesystem resizing abilities, but I've only had to do this once or twice and that was a long time ago - but, I was able to do it... :)
Yes, zfs, and now btrfs, now offer much better support for both of these and then some, but they weren't around/available for linux until relatively recently, which LVM was stable and mature.
