I leave the SC/TC the vast majority of the time, Running with it habitually off seems foolish at best.
Example: I was coming home one night from work at 3 am. It was raining and dark and i took a 90 degree turn slowly despite going at a seemingly proper speed for conditions the rear end still tried to run away. Maybe I could have still saved it with TC but I'm glad that TC was there to lend a hand when something unexpected happened.
That being said if I actually want to slide around I will absolutely turn the systems off as the they actually cut in during more adventurous driving in a way that makes the car behave in a manner that I don't anticipate or intend and can be more "dangerous" in a sense. Nothing like getting the start of a good slip angle and having the VSC sport mode suddenly jerk you straight in harsh manner.
But driving like that at all time would be silly, foolish, and inappropriate. As a rule of thumb, leave the systems on; you are not a world class F1 driver reincarnated; and if you were you'd recognize the value of these systems and leave them on. Take it to the track and when you're done leave it there. Even on roads that I only visit for the joy of driving them I still leave the systems activated in some capacity, I have no desire to see my new $30K toy wrinkled up in the ditch because I ran out of talent and it was too late for me to realize it and do something about it.
EDIT: I will say, it's not until you turn the nannies off that you realize just how balanced, brilliant, and truly easy to drive this car is. It truly does what you want and is very easy to smoothly slide around in a controlled fashion.
