I like autocrossing for all the fun reasons: I get to hang out with my friends, it's cheap (unless you do a national), and it's something to do when there isn't a track school to go to.
I am no longer serious about autocrossing because of the time and money investment needed to be very good just doesn't match well with the seat time you get. I used to be quite good, when I autocrossed 25 times a year. Now I do ~9-10 a year and the other 15 weekends I'm at the track. Consequently, I'm not so good at the autocross anymore.
I see skills from both areas useful in daily driving. Certainly the speeds and manuvers in auto-x are more similar to daily driving. But I look farther ahead on track than I do on an autocross course and find myself doing that on the street as well.
