I wouldn't want to do without my bike stand. It not only makes it easier and more convenient to do proper maintenance on my bikes, it encourages me to check out the bikes so I find potential problems before they break me down on the road or trail. And I don't even want to think about trying to build up a new bike without the stand.
Bike stands aren't an absolute necessity, but I would rank them higher than a nice to have.
