I agree.

As I never ride my Downtube IXFS, I'm donating it to my sister, so have fitted a kickstand to that. I had to extend it a couple of inches, but as it's mounted higher up, it's more stable than the usual low down position anyway.

There's one on my recumbent too, also very convenient, for (un)loading, brief stops etc..

Riding in areas which are often wet, & sometimes muddy, laying a bike down isn't a very good choice.
