I prefer having pubic hair because I find it painful and itchy when it's growing back in after a shave. My skin also doesn't handle shaving well and typically breaks out in a rash. I also don't like cutting myself. And it's healthier for women to have pubic hair. So I just don't think it's worth it. All risks and no real benefits if you ask me!
But even so, some people (both men and women) prefer going with less hair or no hair! Some people don't have sensitive skin, are not prone to infection, and don't itch as much. Everyone is different and has different preferences. So it's really up to you what you want to do or not do with your hair. You should be doing what you want and not worrying about what other people want!

http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/skin/pubichairremoval.html It has information on all the risks involved with shaving, but also gives tips to reduce those risks for people who do want to shave.
