I love feeling the imperceptible squeak of a really smooth landing
We all do, and so do our passengers.
Just remember that this is not, by definition, the "right" way to land an aircraft in all occasions.
When doing a short-field landing for instance, one that's at the limits of the aircrafts performance charts, it's better to have a positive arrival at the threshold so you can hit the brakes immediately, than to hold off, float halfway down the runway and end up in the far hedge.
Likewise, in case of a crosswind landing, you will want to choose the moment of the wheels touching (and giving you directional control) instead of letting the aerodynamics choose the moment for you.
And I understand that more sophisticated types (airliners, bizjets and such) require a certain amount of weight on the wheels before things like autobrakes and spoilers are deployed.
I'm not saying that it's OK to slam the aircraft on the deck at Vref+10 or so, just that a firm landing is in some circumstances better than a greaser.
