This is the exact same reason I do. I like seeing my snake, and if he's hiding, I like to know exactly where he is. I guess you could do this with bins just by opening them, but with a regular tank you don't have to disturb them at all.

If you mean the glass, try taking everything but the substrate (unless you use something that will get soggy and need replacing anyway) and scrub it with a wet toothbrush. It gets rid of all those little white drip stains without needing you to lift the tank at all.
