Why do we care about Frames Per Second so much?

For me personally, so long as the game isn't going 1 MPH and is maintaining a nice speed with a smooth frame rate, I couldn't care less what FPS rate it actually has, but it seems the rest or a very large amount of the community wants 60 FPS or nothing at all. Why do we want this? Does it really make a difference how fast frames are going by in a game so long as it still works and plays well and isn't moving at the speed of a turtle with an anchor tied to it?

  • 30fps looks like "a turtle with an anchor tied to it" once you get used to 60. I also decided to link a study showing that players using higher frame rates are more accurate in first person shooters.
