think most come with 2 batteries now. I have a cord drill at home and wish I had a cordless one.
I'm the exact opposite. The mobility is nice but I can go through both batteries in no time at all. I love the concept, and maybe I just have crap batteries/tools, but I dream about having that wall of tools sharing the same type of battery. But cordless just doesn't keep up with me.

One company has an entire line of tools that uses the same battery. Problem is batteries cost more than tools now

The grass is always greener.
I had been keeping the cordless on the boat, then I wished it was at home. Now that both are at home, I mainly use the corded one because having the change the stupid battery all the time is tiresome. And I have lots of really good extension cords.

Changing batteries is a pain. One I was using at work had to be swapped every 10 minutes. Then when im hanging curtains up at home or anything that involves me drilling holes over my head the damn cord is in the way.

Years ago my cordless drill's battery charger died, and I replaced it with one that has an adapter that plugs in where the battery goes. It's a little heavy and awkward, but it's nice to be able to use without worrying about the battery's life. I don't know if that model is still sold, but it was a Skil, fwiw.
