Its also easier to get a rear wheel in track ends aligned properly and your chain tensioned the right way if you can tighten the right/left nuts independently of each other, something you can't do with a QR.
all it takes to steal a nutted wheel is a 15mm wrench that fits in my pocket.
it just keeps honest people honest.

This is my experience as well. QR is easier and faster than wiggling a wheel with nuts.
I should really get around to chopping the axles on my rear so I can use a QR with it.
