My analog fan control comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but turning a knob on a potentiometer to adjust fan speed has some personal appeal - no digging around for a sw utility, no poking interfaces to see if the motherboard mfr bios exposed the control, of if it exposed it but doesn't actually hook the right plug, no adjusting to see if the right temp input is reading correctly. Fewer layers of things to go wrong can be so nice.
