I don't understand the fuss over reclining seats. It's not like that feature is added by accident or something. They're intended to recline. It's a feature for the person occupying the seat. If I want to use it, I will use it whenever the rules allow me to. Likewise, I will plan the use of the area behind the seat in front of me with the assumption that they may recline their seat at any time it's allowed. This may make it difficult for me to use my laptop. That's either the airline's fault for cramming us in so tightly, or my fault for buying a ticket for a seat where we're crammed in so tightly.
I'll note that I'm 6'3" tall and constantly have trouble with space on airliners. But I'd rather save money than pay for more space. I'm not going to hassle the person in front of me just because I'm cheap.
