Kuku i used to think the same until really gave WH space a go. The resources you gain from moon mining and planet industry are miles ahead of 0.0 space, there are issues with access, which can be a double edge sword. One is it limits what pvp players can bring in their fleets, it also allows for short runs to highsec when entry point open in highsec.
Anyhow if you what to chat about it or other things just yell.
