The deadlift is great for a few things, among them self-knowledge.
That's a great point. They can tell you a lot about the whys behind your lifting on any given day. About your ego and about what drives you to want to lift that day.
I hope I never have to drop them completely from my lifting, but there's a crap ton of ways to implement the regular deadlift, and I'm sure we all know those ways.
Sure, there's other lifts and exercises to choose from, but nothing else matches the beautiful simplicity of just picking a bar up from the floor and standing up with it, and how alive that can make you feel.
Some people write off lighter deadlifts as useless.
As usual, it all depends on what it is exactly you're trying to achieve when you lift that day.
Life's too short to worry about longevity.
