It's rather unpleasant to have cold hands all the time.

It's also rather unpleasant to wear clothing in general.
If there's an opportunity to reduce it to the minimum, I'd rather use it.
That's why I like my commieblocks with central heating.

As long as they had proper insulation from construction or a retrofit they're great. The one i grew up (built by Construction Troops in a hurry) had terrible insulation, with newspapers used to fill gaps between the windows and the walls during construction, but after the (government-sponsored) renewal of the exterior it's pretty damn good.

If you mean because gloves prevent you from doing a lot of stuff while you have them on, I've found fingerless wool gloves to be great at keeping my hands warm while letting me e.g. type on a keyboard, grab stuff from my pockets, from my wallet, etc.
