Hi Jeff
The answer for some of my classical playing friends is snobbery. They make a point of telling people who look at the neck how unprofessional they are.
Had a guitar once without markers, so I bought pearl dots (StewMac) for the side of the neck, and used a drill bit with a stop (for depth) and installed side markers at frets 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 (double to mark the octave), and 15.
I'm not offended at my classical friend's disdain, and I'd rather have people look at the neck and hit the right notes than guess-n-miss em.
