They're replacing it with the ability to post videos in the comments. Which could mean a lot of spam if they don't let you approve it. I doubt if it will improve click through rates as the comments tend to get buried if you have a lot of active subscribers, but I'll give it a shot before declaring it a total failure.

That sounds horrible. YouTube just bought themselves a first class ticket to Spam Central, and we are not talking about the food.
 
They should definitely stay. Although I don't use them, its a great feature and can also be used for contests and stuff.

I have over 900 videos. I got tired of people trying to spam my videos with attempted video responses that had absolutely nothing to do with my video. It was spam, pure and simple.

I disallowed the function months ago. I don't have the time to deal with it.

This is one situation where I like the function. Somebody will ask me a question and I already have the answer they need in another video. I would like to be able to reply to that person with the video link. That is how I would like to connect with my viewers.

But if that means that I will have to allow viewers to post videos in my comments, I will not be using the funciton at all.

The other reason why I don't want to allow video comments is because I maintain a family-friendly channel. There is no way I would be able to control the environment.
 
We did survived Monetization, dozens of Layout Tweaks (Some were broken and some weren`t), ...we will dodge this Bullet from Google/YouTube too.
