I just cut it with the fondant on; like sun33082 said, if you attempt to remove it, it will totally take away fromthe design of your cake. I've started using the satinice fondant and I love it, the marshmallow fondant is pretty good also. My DH doesn't like fondant at all though. He just peels it off of his slice and eats the cake with the BC that's on it. It'll be a matter of preference with those who are eating it, some will like it, some may not; just don't feel bad if you see someone not eating the fondant.
I often encourage fondant "virgins" 
to eat the fondant after they've eaten the cake. In doing so, I find that most people consume the fondant--I use Satin Ice--and actually like it. I tell them that it can be an acquired taste because of the texture--that way, people can't condemn the cake if they don't like the fondant

I agree with the fact that if you remove it you will most likely pull a good portion of BC off too. My husband will not eat the fondant, but ALWAYS eats the cake. I just made MMF for the first time today and I have to admit it tastes really good. Although I am finding it difficult to roll as thin as the store bought brand, but the taste far exceeds the taste of Wilton fondant.
Where do you find the pre-made fondant that does not taste horrid? All I've ever seen is the wilton brand, so I make MMF instead. I'd love to cut down on my prep time and clean up with the pre-made, but certainly not at the expense of the taste. I hate to order online until I know I'll actually like the stuff.....
I guess it all depends on the quailiy of the fondant. I was watching the Food Network special on weddings at Disney and they removed the fondant once the bride had cut the cake. Once the cake goes back to the kitchen and is cut all anyone cares about is how good the cake tastes not what it used to look like. Just my opinion.
