I don't know; we have had ID cards since ... long before I was born and they're not that bad (as long as they get replaced every 10 years and not be the same for all your life, as is the case with Greece). After all, you still have other identification documents, such as driver's licence or passport.
What frightens me with ID cards, though, is the prospect of having embedded bar-codes with all your information in them, or the thing with retina-scans. They say that new passports will have things like that too, and I'm not that happy about it.
(in other words, I don't get why the big fuss about refusing ID cards since I've always had one, but the way things are going, you ought to refuse them)
