I am not particularly opposed to a kick stand on someone else's bike, but never found them of much use either. If there is nothing to lean the bike against, I don't see anything wrong with laying it down. Different strokes I guess.
Ya well that's what's interesting a double legged kickstand sinks into the soft sand, but also keeps the bike upright at the same time - works in loose gravel and mud too.
Laying the bike down is fine - except that in sand you get sand into your pedal, you can't easily access all your panniers, if the area is wet or muddy you get your bike/panniers dirty.
Anyways as you said different strokes....
