For us, you could be arriving at the hub fairly early from one of the close cities, say around 9 or 9:30 in the morning and then you could potentially sit there until 4pm-ish or so. Some of the west coast flights get in later and leave earlier, but you could have some really long sits in the hub during the day, compared to just a 2-3 hours at night (when the potential is there to sleep).

I live in base, so I don't mind day flights here and there, but I'll pass on a week of hub turns of them.

Plus, like others have mentioned before, there's weather, much more traffic, delays, more guys b**tching about rides constantly, more frequency congestion and WAY more meowing on Guard.

I actually don't mind nights. And the junior guys at my company that complain that they hate it because the day flying is gone...well, I'm also quite junior and I knew going into my company that our primary operation is night and has been for 51 years.
