These days more and more North American parents are not circumcising babies because modern medicine has found no reason other than cosmetic "so he looks like his father or other boys" reasons or religious reasons which are perfecly fine. It's said that the proceedure cause the baby too much pain as well.
This is a reversal of what happened in the 1970s early 80s when circumcision was usually the norm as it was believed that the procedure prevented certain diseases such as penile cancer which is rare. I've heard though that it can help prevent HIV and that may be true--not sure.
How much does it affect things? The foreskin protects the head of the penis from friction and cracking and keeps it moist. It also helps provide extra sensation during sex or so they say in males. Really, you cannot compare either being intact or not as no person is both ;)
Wikipedia has a great article on the history of circumcision that will answer a lot more of your questions better than I can. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I find most guys who are circumcised want to be intact and vice versa. It isn't gross when someone isn't circumcised. Regardless of being circumcised or not this is how the penis is meant to look intact versus cut. Both circumcised penises and non-circumcised are normal and very common.
Also, it is no harder to keep an intact penis clean than a circumcised one. All one has to do is be sure to pull back the foreskin from the head of the penis during bathing and that keeps infection away.

Its not very gross...well....im a girl so i wouldn't know really.....but guys who have it done have it done while they are little babies..i think...
it doens't make any difference, besides that infections can occour under the 'skin' if it is not cleaned properly if a guy still has it.
well...hope i helped. leave me a note if you need more advice!!

Yeah it doesn't make much of a difference except about the aids thing and people say it's cleaner when u hve it circumcised. That's what I've heard and it's also a religious thing for muslims and jews.

It doesn't make a huge difference for the most part.
Although, it's interesting that you ask. They recently did a study that showed that circumcision can substantially cut the risk of developing HIV/AIDS because the foreskin easily absorbs the cells. That's not to say it will replace condoms, but I thought it might pertain to your question since that's one area that it DOES affect.
Otherwise, there are mixed reports. It doesn't seem to matter one way or another, from what I, as a female, have heard.
