I believe part of the reason for the two-stage trigger is it also allows greater sear engagement and greater safety. So when you're bayoneting and clubbing the enemy with your Mauser/Springfield/Enfield/Mosin, you're not likely to jar the striker off of the sear and have an inadvertent discharge.
Me? I vastly prefer a good two-stage trigger, especially in position shooting. All summer I shoot Highpower with an Armalite AR-15 with the stock 2-stage match trigger in it. It's crisp, safe and I like the initial take-up of the first stage. It functions as an "on" signal for me, and also lets me know I can let off the pressure and cancel the shot process. When I decide to take the plunge into smallbore and pick up my own rig, it will have a two-stage trigger.
(I also hate triggers that don't have any overtravel, as I feel the trigger come to stop as I follow-through. My TC Encore has an adjustable overtravel limit screw. As it came from the factory, it didn't allow the trigger to move after the break. I shot horribly with it. Turned the screw a few turns out and PRESTO! More movement allowed, just to my liking. I'm also a DA revolver shooter, FWIW.)
