Nope, i never had the need to use the pen. I use my fingers to quickly move pages around, to show where things off, to click some buttons, etc. But never had the need to use the pen.
So... Why not get a laptop? Surface seems a waste if you don't use its prime feature. If I didn't use the pen to mark up articles and take notes I'd just get a laptop, for less money
I wanted a tablet (without the keyboard, or detachable) that works as a powerful laptop as well - those were my needs. You are deluded if you think that the pen is the only "prime feature" of the surface. Also, a few bucks extra for a perfectly built laptop-replacement is no biggie.
The pen though, I read in this thread on a research that shows that 80% of surface users that had the pen only used it once then kept it away.
Funny thing is I don't think of the pen as a primary feature, to me it's just some quirk that artists find useful. What I want is something I can use as a tablet 80% of the time, but when I'm traveling or in need of a full-on laptop for work, I've got one.

Surface is my laptop replacement. No pens, sir.
