I actually have hardwood throughout most of my house. My only complaint is that it gets somewhat cold in the winter - mind you, I do have area rugs on the floor so it really isn't all that bad!
My house is about 67 years old and when I bought it the previous owners put carpet throughout the house (yes, even in the kitchen and bathroom). The floors under the carpet in the living room, dining room, bedroom and upstairs are all the original hardwood so I ripped up the carpet and redid the floors. I'm put tile in the bathroom and will put tile in the kitchen as well.
For resale value, hardwood actually ups the value of the house over carpet. I also think it gives a warm look to houses as well. You also do not have to worry as much about traffic patterns like you do with carpet and wood floors are much easier to clean.
Just my thoughts.
