One important feature of spider plants you didn't mention is that it's virtually impossible to kill one. This makes them perfect for those with 'limited' ability in caring for houseplants, such as students.
You really have to try to kill a spider plant, as no amount of neglect, poor care or physical damage seems to finish them off. Although I have to admit I once did manage to kill one (through about 8 weeks of continuous non-watering), they can almost always be brought back to life with a bit of water, however brown and ill they're looking.
