There are some folks that actually prefer the live axle (drag racers, mostly), and I'd wagar that the vast majority of buyers don't even know the difference. Of course, those of us on these types of forums absolutely DO know the difference - be we are generally the exception, not the rule. Personally, I've hit lots of bumps in turns and have so far managed to stay in control.
On cutting weight....it is Ford's goal to cut 200-300 lbs out of the NEXT revision of the Mustang, some time around 2014-ish or so. GM is looking also looking to bring the heft down with Camaro - possibly by using the Alpha platform in around 2015.
Weight is the enemy of everything performance....both companies (and Chrysler) know it, and both will address it.
