I have both a corded and a cordless Dremel and I find them very
useful. My corded version has a very tightly coiled cord (telephone
style) that I find inconvenient. Either I have a large mass of cord
right at the tool, or I feel like there's a big spring pulling me
toward the electrical outlet. Cordless obviously doesn't have this
problem. My corded model is over 20 years old, so I don't know if
they still make the cords this way.
I think the key here is that if you ask people how the Dremel is as a
"die grinder" you get negative comments. I think it is a great tool
that comes in handy lots of times. But a die grinder is a different
tool, able to handle bigger jobs. Think of the Dremel like a
Dustbuster, and the die grinder like the shop vacuum cleaner. The
Dustbuster is handy for lots of things, but it's not going to beat
the big vacuum in a head-to-head cleaning test.
