I do too. I'm a bit of a workaholic so I don't go nuts, but sure, 6 weeks doesn't seem unreasonable and I'm sure some people at my company take that much. I'd probably like to do a long trip to Europe sometime next year and still take a normal amount of vacation around the holidays, and it's nice to know I can just do that if I want to without planning years ahead.
My last company originally had something standard-ish like 5-10 sick days a year (no rollover) plus 3 weeks PTO (with rollover), then changed it to give you like 2 extra PTO days and take away all the sick time. Boy was it fun to dip into PTO time when I got the flu.
