I like not having space wasted. A smaller, lighter laptop is easier to carry around and fit into bags, so the more space that is used for the screen, the better.
It doesn't make a difference though. 14" vs 13" makes a bigger difference than the few grams of plastics that is the 'wasted space'. Also, more space means more efficient cooling usually.
The smaller it is, the bigger the difference that 1 inch makes.
We're not talking about more or less space, we're talking about maximizing the value of the space you have, regardless of how much that is.
