Another neglected mentioning about SATA is that the wires are smaller, which makes cable routing and interior maintenance easier, as well as allows for more efficient airflow through the chassis.
The only reason I go for IDE anymore is for optical media, which leaves my SATA ports open for hardware that can really see an advantage over IDE.
But it still sucks that new mobos come with only 1 IDE controller, so you can't use more than 2 IDE devices...
