The benefits outweigh the costs.
Floppies work in Safe Mode.
I'll be damned if I'm going to waste an expensive CD-R or CD-RW just to transport a single Word document, when I can use the faster-and-easier floppy.
Many schools use floppies as opposed to internet transfers or CD-Rs, because you can format and virus-check a floppy's contents much faster and much easier than can a CD's or internet file's.
You can't flash your BIOS with a CD.
You can't make a startup disk with a CD.
USB devices don't function in DOS.
So, yeah, spending those $10 on a 3.5" Floppy is a good move.
