We got rid of our microwave a couple of months ago. We haven't missed it. About all we ever did with it was melt butter or heat up leftovers. After reading a few blogs about them, we decided it wasn't used enough around here to worry about. So, out it went (currently in the tool shed). We both grew up without microwaves in our house, so it's not as though we don't remember life without one. I remember very clearly when we got our first microwave, because it was a gift from my mom's boss. It was a monster, an Amana RadarRange. It took up half the countertop. But it was so cool. Nowadays, not so much.
I love not having the microwave sitting on the counter. I love heating up leftovers on the stove or in the oven. The food actually gets hot all the way through and stays hot. What a novel idea. And guess what, it only takes a couple of minutes to warm up leftovers, with no cold spots.
If you're interesting in reading what others have said about doing without a microwave, here are a few links:
