It would be nice to get quantum gravity without resorting to String Theory. Could we say it ties up some loose ends? :)
See http://www.scienceshelf.com/PhysicsTrouble.htm for a recent comparative review of two books on that subject.
I discuss these loose ends in my new book about 20th-century physics, Physics: Decade by Decade.
