I like the way the running boards look. I had a 4Runner TRD PRO previously and running boards made it way easier to get in. I would step up on the boards and then step into the vehicle. When I tried that on my X5 I kept bumping my head - and I'm short, only 5'5". So I don't use them to get in and out. Being short I have the seat pretty high up when driving. I found it a lot easier to get in and out by lowering the seat to its lowest setting. This way I can just step in and out of the vehicle. And as Ryan said it makes accessing top of vehicle possible.
