I tend to agree, but the counter-argument is that there would be a lot more reviews as teams were less likely to lose them, which would hold up the game.

I also tend to agree, but again the counter-argument is that it would ultimately remove the Umpire from the game and take up a lot of time, as they would tend to check everything just to be safe - just as they do with run-outs already, really.
Some say that if the technology is there, then we should use it, whilst others like the idea that the umpires are only human and their fallibility adds to the game.
One change I wonder about is the ability to issue yellow and red cards... it's died down a bit recently, but I think some of the on-field behaviour occasionally merits a formal warning then and there.
