As a user, I mostly like SPDY because it makes HTTPS better (not perfect, but better than what was there before), and I wish more sites used an encrypted connection by default. Anything that brings us closer to that is desirable, IMO.

That's mostly out of principle -- I just wish there was less plaintext info swirling around the net. For some people it could be a life or death benefit (ie. civil right activists in repressive countries), but for me personally, it's mostly an aesthetic pleasure (I enjoy the idea of more secure communications).
