No one needs to use a feature they don't like.

I personally find Flyspell useful in text-mode buffers, like
ChangeLog, Texinfo mode, mail-mode, and other modes where I write
human-readable text.  It keeps me from making stupid typos.
Performance is not an issue normally in these modes, where most of the
time I just think what to write next anyway.

I almost never turn on Flyspell in program source buffers.  YMMV.
