I totally agree Gaja.

I support a SAP BW system and they create tables with a 100 of partitions
and only load 24 of them. With autoallocate, most of them are small (64k)
and space is not wasted. If they do decide to load them up, I'm still safe
because the extent size increase as the object grows.

I'm don't advocate of autoallocate for everything because I can't determine
the next extent, but this is one place where it's better than uniform.

I also have some uniform LMTs for larger tables that I migrate to when
tables get too big.
