I don't have declawed cats and they don't ruin my leather couch. They do ruin my cloth couches for sure, but a little more discipline on my part would solve that.
One of the cats at my work has been declawed and she is very unsociable, she runs away when you get near. While the untouched one is very sociable to the people who approach her.
I wouldn't declaw my dog, so why would I declaw my cats?
If I had the choice, I wouldn't do it. If it's already done, then what's done is done, you deal with it, but a choice is a choice and you have to live with the results afterwards. I can't believe that lady put her cat outside after she had it declawed (who wrote about this????) because she couldn't deal with the problems. WHoever said this was right 'if you can't deal with the problems, then you shouldn't have a cat in the first place'.
Now this is only my opinion and I accept and respect others opinion. My own is only my own.
