When I want to go to paris, I would prefer not to fly there by plane, Id go by train... Why drive all the way to an airport through traffic, spend an hour getting there, and hour checking in, taxying on the run way, taking off, taking a big bent route, circling to land, landing, parking, checking out, and going through traffic just to get to the centre of paris...
Alternatively I could just take the underground to waterloo, stroll onto the train, ride it through the channel tunnel into the centre of paris and walk off right where I wanted to be.....
Thats the mentality behind the gates... Besides, no matter how many ships you have, you can never hope to match the kind of travel options granted by a set of tens of millions of fixed gates per galaxy, it would open travel upto everybody! and you wouldnt have to be bound by routes or ship timetables, and huge resources of moving a ship just to go somewhere, you just dial up and go see aunty olive in the Kalium galaxy.
Also, it would take a few hours to travel between galaxies, perhaps a few minutes within galaxies, in Thors chariot, we see it takes only a short time, this would probably be as Thor was patrolling "near by"... regardless, the speeds of the Asgaard have been shown more in recent times and most recently with Thor saying it would take "many hours" with the promethius in tow... so Im guessing just a few hours without it in tow.
