No, you could always fast travel once a location was discovered. I just don't do it for the opposite reason that you stated--I like the time commitment. Sure it is just a game, but it gives a sense of accomplishment and allows you to find 300 other cool little things along the way.
Skyrim is one of those games where I find something new every time I play it.
EDIT: A great example is the quest that I have just been given. I am in Riften, way down in the southeast corner of Skyrim. I need to go to Solitude, which is located in the far northwest; the complete opposite side of the map. Sure I could take a carriage and get there immediately, but what's the fun in that? The great appeal of these games is that they lend themselves to slow play. Get out there, walk the countryside. I love it.
