Having just exchanged my 997 Carrera S for an M135i I couldn't disagree with you more. There's a reason the 2-wheel version of Porsche's 911 outsells it's AWD sister and I don't believe it's just a matter of money; it's simply more fun to drive. Same for M cars in my opinion.
The fact that the rear can step out in a RWD car and needs to be caught is exactly the reward a driver's car should offer. The only problem with tail-happy 911's though is their design is compromised so much this has a nasty habit of biting you in the a$$ when you least expect it, especially if you boot them too hard too soon.
The constant argument that goes on between the wheels in a powerful AWD car about which one has more traction is actually quite annoying after a while.
