Sorry to ask a dumb question, but why is auto ISO a big deal?

I cannot think of any situation where I would not want to control the  
ISO myself. If the resulting shutter speed is too slow for comfort,  
then I might still prefer to take my chances, or increase ISO  
manually, but I cannot imagine why I would let the camera make that  
decision. What am I missing?
