I still prefer removable batteries because they are easy to replace. Built-in batteries are also fine and can also last for years. However when the time that the battery dies you must get a technician to replace the battery for you. Or if you want to take risk buy some tools and follow some YouTube tutorials:D

My only gripe with built in batteries is that you cannot do a hard reset if the phone freezes. Just have to wait it out.

I didn't like built in batteries either, but I now have Huawei Ascend P7 with built in battery for like 2 years and so far, I don't really have problems with it. Even when I was fiddling with firmware and I had massive lockups and problems, I never had problems recovering it into operating state. And I had it freeze few times and it just somehow sorted out. So, hard reset with battery removal wasn't really wasn't ever needed. Can be convenient, I agree, but I didn't really need it.

I had an Acer Liquid S55 before my new phone. Lasted for around 2 years. The battery is huge in that one!
Connected via a smaller connector to it's mainboard. Used a guitar pick to open it up.
However, what really amazed me was the size of the electrical engine to manage "vibrations", thin as paper and with a "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" sticker on it..

My new Phicomm does have a changeable battery. But I could change it on the S55 if I could find a new one somewhere.
