The only reasons Rodenburry but them in Startrek was because he didn't know how to dock the ships or whatever, he needed an alternate way of doing it. But that was a long time ago, now it's getting easier to see things and do better things using graphics and $#it on computers.

I saw a programme on television that explained why they had transporters. It would have been too expensive for them to do continuous landing sequences using shuttles (or something along those lines) so Gene Roddenberry invented transporters, and obviously, they stuck. As for Trek without them, I guess they'd just have to use shuttles all the time.

I heard in Germany they are working on it, and they actually did transport non-organic material.

That all may very well be true. But im sure G.R. (may he rest in peace) had other reasons. I mean IT WAS IN THE FUTURE. And he did have energy wepons too.
