I just think it's a hassle since you get so little out of it. I tend not to research the individual resource tech trees anyway, going for monoliths instead, so my remote mining is even less effective. As far as asteroids are concerned, I'd rather make a planet out of it than mine it, since I'm researching stellar manip early anyway.
