Well, this really depends on the use-case, size of commit, ...
I often use a version control system for very low importance stuff. I
don't want to type a 3-lines long message to describe a 2-lines long
change in my ~/.emacs.el for example. I also work with people using
(sorry) svn to work collaboratively, but they don't even provide a log
message: the version control system here is just a replacement for
unison/NFS/whatever other way to have people edit files from different
machines.
For sure, in a context where code quality and review is important,
-m "xxx" isn't the way (except if you prefer your shell's line editor
to your actual editor).
