I wear them a lot, surgeons gloves when finishing and a pair of yellow strechy gloves that have rubber nubs all over them for planing and the jointer, I also use the little handle thing thats rubber coated on the bottom to push on the wood for some reason I have to get close to the blades.
Gloves are only dangerous if you let them come in contact with the blades, keep them away and they work fine, and they also help prevent slivers and such.imho
I don't wear them with my router, hard to keep very far from them blades.
