One positive with a Trangia comes from it burning ethanol. My understanding is that the fumes given off from burning shellite, petrol et cet (as well as any spilt fuel) are quite bad for the waterproofing and nylon of your tent. With a Trangia, you can cook inside the tent without any issues (obviously provided you're careful), which is nice in the rain and wind when you'd prefer to have that vestibule door shut and means you can make coffee without leaving your sleeping bag.
If you want to go really cheap or you really like making stuff yourself, you can easily make a quite good burner from a couple of aluminium cans. In principle, not so different to a Trangia burner. Something like the "photon stove" on the following web page works well.
