I've come to the conclusion that it's just not that big a deal and the potential pros and cons just aren't substantial enough to merit any more of my brainpower.

The only thing I'd caution against is going overboard with it. If you're spending the better part of every day nervous and jumpy from an excess of caffeine, you're really begging for problems. Know your limits, stick to them and you'll be fine.
I figure, with the degree of irony I tend to experience in life, that if I ever stopped drinking coffee for "health reasons", I really would likely walk outside and be run over by a truck or something.

Not that I would ever stop coffee anyway, I love the stuff so much I like to call it "Water Infused with Divinity".
