I use an indicator, but rarely look down at it. I cut notches in the wheels for balls/strikes, so that I can read the count with thumb and index finger. For me, having the count on my fingertips allows me freedom to focus on other matters.
If going without a net works for you, great. But I don't think that going without using this simple piece of equipment needs to be encouraged.

Bluehair, your preference is personnally up to you, and you only. It will be a topic that will NEVER be right or wrong, and NEVER full agreement on. But, that fine.
As a non-user, all I ask is that you try it. I did, and haven't been able to use one for 13 years, since.
When you don't use the indaclickercounter, you tend to concentrate more on what the count is, because mentally you know that you don't have any backup to rely on. And so you become more focused in that respect. I found that, I can actually tell someone how the count was arrived at, which is far better than showing them that little crutch in your hand. You already stated that you don't look at it much to begin with.
Either way is fine, just my opinion.
