For me, glasses are better for reading paper and the screen. Contacts are better for everything else. Being able to play various sports without having to choose between worrying about breaking my glasses or being seriously visually impaired is freeing. Even things like running and lifting are so much easier because I don't need to constantly adjust my glasses. And I didn't realize how nice it feels to not have something constantly on my face until I started wearing contacts.
There are ups and downs to both glasses and contacts, which is why I wear both during the week and day. But implying that people wear contacts because they feel a sense of accomplishment by putting them in is foolish.
The value in the frames, to me, is how light they are.
