Sorry to be late to the party!
I love the Teensy 3.1 form factor/pin layout. Especially the smd pads on the bottom with their separate I2C1 bus.
This makes integrating itty bitty boards with lots of sensors onto the Teensy platform appallingly easy. I stack multiple add-ons onto the Teensy all the time without too much fuss. The modular approach let's each user pimp out (configure, to the layman) their Teensy for each particular use case. Is every function covered? No. But I am adding new boards all the time.
Would it be a disaster if the form-factor/pinout changed. No. The Teensy LC is different but most of the boards still can work with a little modification.
For my use and interest, the smaller the Teensy the better. Extended adapter or breakout boards to get access to existing, readily-available pins seems like wasted effort to me. I'd rather concentrate on making adapters that fit on the Teensy than an adapter that the Teensy fits on. But that's just me.
