I used to think the same thing about glossy monitors, but after doing side by side comparisons, I discovered both types have reflections, just different kinds. Once you start working, you don't really notice them. At this point I'd never buy anything BUT a glossy monitor. BIG huge second on that. The reflections on matte screens are unbearable. Glossy screen reflections are easy to see past because they're pin points - whereas matte screens are just blurred nasty blobs of reflections that obscure the whole screen and make your graphics/video look like old foggy yellow'd headlights from a 1987 Honda. At least that's been my experience since the beginning of glossy screens.
I have a big window behind me and never really notice it on my 27" Apple display (LOVE) - but when I go to work on my cintiq (matte screen+wacom surface) - it really bothers me and I have to black it out.
So don't count glossy screens out - they really have a depth and gorgeousness that can't be matched. I'd never buy matte again either.
