In terms of facts over preference, yes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you chose to put put in your body/not put in your body first thing in the morning sets the pace for your metabolism as well as appetite through out the day. When you eat three consistent meals a day with small snacks in between it keeps your metabolism running. When you eat sparatically, or have long gaps without eating your body goes into store mode. It converts the food into fat stores because it doesn't know when it's next meal will be. Whereas when your metabolism is working properly it will burn up the food, so long as you are eating the right amount of calories for your weight bracket, and are moving around enough to burn off them off. Naturally, if you're sitting all day you aren't using enough energy to burn off the intake of calories and they will in turn be stored.
A lot of people misunderstand nutrition. Many think if they skip meals it's okay as long as they eat healthy in their other meals. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth. No matter how healthy the food is if your digestive system isn't working properly you are not absorbing a good portion of the nutrients in said healthy meals which makes the whole point rather moot. Many many of the signs for an unhealthy digestive system aren't anything we can notice right away. More often than not it's something small that people brush off as "just a little indigestion, or just a little gas." However, these small signs are clues that something is not right in the digestive system, and left untreated may lead to a bigger complication later.
In terms of preferences over facts, to each their own.
