The only flippers I have are my two XM-18s, and while I don't use the flipper 100% of the time, it has grown on me and I don't mind it so much now. Though I'm not really a flipper fan, it's not a terrible thing to have options for opening the knife and could see how it'd be handy on the larger XMs when wearing gloves. I also prefer the style of flipper/detent combo that Rick uses as it allows a slower and more controlled opening if you wish rather than some I've handled which resemble an auto.
I don't think CRK will put out a flipper for several reasons, but if they were to then I feel like it'd end up being highly regarded around here and everywhere else in the knife community.
