I can see why people like them, but personally I find they slow down development and restrict creativity somewhat. All depends what you're building of course.

I always find my ideas flow into working code much, much faster using untyped vars. Doing it this way also allows for more flexible code, and encourages a better mental understanding of the code. Admittedly this works better for solo coders than for sharing code with others.
