Jerry, you crank a high gear at a molasses pace. Many others would rather spin a faster cadence, in a lower gear, including myself.
30t also gets you slightly more ground clearance than a 32t and keeps you out of the 50/51/50t cog out back more. Seeing as the largest cogs are usually made of faster-wearing alloy, a 30t ain't a bad option.
