Well I don't mind seats being reclined personally, it's a feature that I pay for too. However I absolutely hate those that recline without checking what I am doing at the time. Was very lucky just recently on my SIN-LHR flight as breakfast had just finished serving and the person infront reclined, fortunately I had my coffee in my hand at the time rather than on my tray (which did end up on my lap).

I think the airlines would like this, too and not just from a point of view of the crew having to defuse arguments over it. Non-reclining seats would presumably allow the seat pitch to be reduced a bit further and have an extra row or so crammed in.
