All in all, I think a painter is pretty unneccessary regardless of how it's attatched.

Until you need it. Then perhaps you need it in the same way you may need a spare paddle. Instantly.

If all one ever does is fairweather flatwater paddling then they only really need it when not paddling.

I know of two people who didn't tie their canoe up and it was blown away stranding the paddlers.
