You don't need to be super paranoid to find SSL useful. No SSL means your login data is transmitted unecrypted, which means it's easy for anybody to read it, especially if you log in from a public wifi. If you're using the same username password combination on other sites you're in big trouble. So I agree, this should really be fixed.

Edit: Even if you don't log in from public wifis it's easy on this site to steal the accounts from users you share the network with.
