I've seen enough burned, molten, or otherwise damaged Molex-type connectors in a variety of applications to know better than to think they will never cause problems. A loose connection increases resistance over that connection. I fully admit that it's unlikely, but there's no way you can reasonably debate that a modular connector is more reliable than a hardwired connection. Ultimately, you have a connector at the device attachment point, but I'd still prefer to keep the connections to a minimum.
I'm not trying to convince anyone that they shouldn't buy a modular PSU. I'm simply stating, once again, that I would prefer one without to meet my own preferences and requirements, and fully admit that many will not share them.
