There's definitely nothing wrong with brewing extract batches forever; we have a small brewpub in seattle that uses a dry malt extract setup to brew their in-pub offerings. I think a lot of home brewers end up feeling the itch to move to all-grain at some point, though. There's just something about it that's a lot of fun, and it's amazingly rewarding.

I made the transition from extracts to all grain about 2 years ago and have not looked back. It does typically take about 3 times longer, and I do pretty much commit and entire sunday to brewing, but I really can't think of a better way to spend a day. After all, if time were the only consideration here, I would be buying all my beer. Congratulations on taking your first step into all grain brewing.
