I'm perfectly happy with it because of this

The charge will apply to bags in the overhead bin. Personal items that fit under the seat will still be free. Spirit said it will add measuring devices at the gates to determine which carry-ons are free and which ones will incur the charge.

I hate how every single flight I get on has full overheads before half the plane has boarded because every single flier brings an overstuffed rollerboard that takes up half the overhead bin that is supposed to be for 2 rows.
Or, the easier option would just be to actually enforce overhead size rules. If it doesn't legitimately fit under the seat, it gets gate checked. End of story.
