Besides whats wrong with looking at outlets...? I would much rather have it in a conveinet location. I also wouldnt like to have to go to my basement to reset a gfci breaker. Not that gfcis trip all that much.

Man you are so right. the only reason someone (the designer) wants them (plugstrips) is so they can take nice photos of the backsplash when the job is done. Honestly, they look like crap when you have a bunch of cords plugged in them. And yeah, they aint fun to install, just like with uc lights you must run seperate whips for each one from a j-box where your gfi is installed under the sink and even then they leave about one inch of space to hit the terminals. Plus, they trip the hell out of gfi's Those things are a hacks wetdream.
And on the topic of gfi's throughout the backsplash, it really depends on how big that countertop really is. I can understand maybe five or six gfi's at the most... after that, f it, just line/load the receptacles.
