There are pros and cons of gutters.

Pro - you don't get as wet when you walk outside in the rain.
Also, can direct water - if you have a good place to direct it, and you don't mind a 6' extension into your lawn to get it away from your house.

Con - can get clogged. Clogged gutters can do significant damage to roof, and facia (behind the gutter).
Unsightly, maintenance, pressure washing, scrubbing mold, painting?

Unless I have a good reason for gutters, I leave them off. I've even torn 'em down on several homes.
