For some travel, checking a bag is a must. For example, in 2007 I took a one week scuba diving trip to Honduras (it was amazing by the way, I highly recommend diving there). I needed to pack a wetsuit, large fins, a regulator, etc. etc. Checking a bag was a must. Skiing vacations also require checking bags - the ski gear is substantial, even withstanding skis, poles, snowboards, and boots. Fishing or hunting trips are two other vacations that are hard to achieve pack only.
But for other trips, if possible, it can be incredibly freeing to go carry-on only. For my Euro 2012 Trip, I'll be flying British Airways Denver to London, British Airways London to Stockholm, and Air Berlin Stockholm to Munich with a short airport layover in Berlin. Fortunately, the restrictions for carry-on are the same for BA and AirBerlin.
