You can recall out, but not in.

You can recall out, but not in... which IS a good thing. If you could mark a
sopt inside your house, the rune could be stolen and your house would be
empty upon your return. Also know that you can Gate out of your house too,
but that is not suggested. If someone sees your destination gate, they can
jump right in and freely loot your house.

Wrong. They can not use the gate to get back in. If they try, they get booted
outside. Only friends can do such a thing. Friends to the house that is....Of
coures, pks would mark near the house, and wait for your return....

Missing features, due to the fact that there are idiots who can't handle
this, is not a good thing.

Or are these people uninformed or not paranoid enough to worry about the
results of gating into their house?

You are the one that is wrong. If you open a gate inside your house, a
non-friend can enter the gate and end up right in your house. Try it if you
don't believe me, we did.

You don't HAVE to gate from the inside of your house, but having the option
is nice. I've been trapped in a room of my house with only a gate spell
(and a bunch of crap) my regs bag, and a painting. :)

I've tried it as well, and the non-friend was immediately booted outside.
But it's quite possible this doesn't work 100% of the time.

Perhaps it's like this:

1) Entering the gate that goes into a public house as non
friend makes you appear IN the house.
2) Entering the gate that goes into a private house as non
friend boots you outside the house.

Regarding gating into private houses...

About 2 months ago some local idiots (and I mean Idiots with a capital
I) decided to turn pk. We found out about it so we paraded a couple
lootless newbies by their private house, and the idiots took the bait,
and the counts, and turned red. During this time a newbie char of mine
was walking by their private house and one of the idiots exited the
house and ran the other direction, without bothering to close the door,
or wait til the door closed. I knew they kept regs laying out, so I ran
inside before the door closed. The good news is that I grabbed over
1000 moss and 400 ash. The bad news was I was banned.

A few days later my banned char was ghost scouting the area, and the
idiots were sparring with summoned ele's. I watched for a bit, and all
of a sudden the mage idiot opens a gate, from inside, to just in front
of their steps (practicing magery I assume, and he immediately dispelled
the gate in his house). I thought "what the heck" and ran my ghost into
the gate. I appeared inside the house, and stayed inside the house.
Remember, I was not only not friended, I was banned. (I listened in on
them for a bit, and heard them discussing my char, and laughing about
how I was banned so wouldnt be bothering them again. I was _real_
tempted to show myself at that moment, but resisted ;).

Anyway, from my experience, a banned ghost char can enter a gate and end
up inside a private house from which that char was banned. I'm not sure
if my being a ghost affected anything. I assume not, but...
