Glasses Free 3D: Worth the trouble?

After having my 3DS for nearly two years now, I can easily find the sweet spot with little trouble. Of course the argument can be made that many people have trouble finding it and something like this shouldn't be so difficult to do, but let's look at using 3D glasses. Is it really better? Having to carry around 3D glasses with your handheld device makes it much less portable. They could easily break while the glasses-free 3D screen prevents those issues.

Also, I hear the 3DS XL has an easier-to-find sweet spot.

People already carry around glasses, so this should be no different. They wont get broken as you'd put them in a case, which if small enough, can fit in your pocket. At worst you can just wear them. Definitely better than having to find and stay in that sweet spot, which if you're on the go like in a bus or car, will be uber difficult. I can find the sweet spot easily, but it's annoying having to do so in the first place and even more annoying having to stay completely still, otherwise you have to disengage yourself from the game to go back to that sweet spot.

You don't have to stay still to stay in the sweet spot.  There's a range you can move with that, and I have not had trouble staying in the sweet spot in cars/buses/etc.  What IS trouble is the gyroscope on vehicles.  

Also, people carrying around glasses tend to always be wearing them.  If you're always wearing 3D glasses when you don't need them (or already have glasses) it can be a bit of trouble.  This is especially true when you think about the fact that 3D glasses have tints to them, making it harder to see the things around you.

lol I didn't say all the time. Who doesn't have a backpack/purse/briefcase/bag/pocket/etc. to carry stuff in? Afterall where's that 3DS going. Surely you can't hold it all the time. My parents don't wear their reading glasses all the time. An old friend who should have been wearing his glasses more often than not rarely did, only kept them on his person. I mean, come on, surely people are capable of carrying glasses with them like they do other things.

I was exaggerating a bit on the whole standing still part, but it's definitely true that movement will throw the 3D out of whack, screwing up your gameplaying having to readjust. Staying peferctly still would be your best bet to avoid having such issues, but of course that's not possible.
