I'll give you a few reasons why I like stock splits:

1) It makes it easier to buy shares though this is not much of a factor in today's world. Way back when, I wanted to buy Berkshire but the price was around $10k and I didn't have that much to invest. Turns out, I would've made a fortune if I could've bought it, ie, had Berkshire split the stock, I could have afforded it.
2) Getting more shares allows for more option possibilities. I occasionally write covered calls and having more shares increases the flexibility. In some cases where I may not have 100 shares, a split will put my share total over 100.
3) Stock splits are generally seen as positive forward guidance from the company as it is seen as vote of confidence.
