You have to remember, most DVD's are going to be viewed on televisions of some sort, not computer monitors.

Anamorphic DVD's (wide screen) are becoming more and more the norm. Pan and Scan (full screen) is more difficult to master because of the additional editing required.

As more and more people buy new and bigger TVs -- many of them HDTV capable sidescreen -- the issues detween anamorphic and pan and scan DVD's will become less and less.

As for me, I've got a 65" Pioneer HDTV widescreen projection TV -- so of course I love anamorphic DVDs.
