Here's another anecdotal story. Folks have every right to hate BIGBANKDOM but most won't change banks when inertia kicks in, and there's little evidence of a revolt. Also there may not be all that much difference among banks anyway; they're all pretty much impersonal and chained to technology, and they're all capable of dumb things. (The banks seized by the FDIC are more George Bailey than John Thain.) Still, a symbolic move couldn't hurt much, and if people really paid attention to where their money goes it might be a good thing.
