I dont see why someone wouldnt use an atm if its more convenient. Imagine you are out and about, say at a mall, and think: "Hum, Id like to buy some bitcoins with the cash in my pocket". You choice is now going to the bank or atm to deposit cash, and buy it online with your phone or computer. With an atm, you can just walk 100 feet, deposit cash, and receive bitcoins. So long as fees are low, I dont see why it wouldnt get used.
I also think that an ATM will seem legit to many new users, and draw new people in to using BTC. Think about all the stupid impulse buying people, and perhaps yourselves, do. I bet there are tons of people who think about buying $10-20 worth of BTC but would rather not deal with signing up for accounts and doing online payments with personal financial information (especially when cryptocoins are still seen by some as only used for illegal activities).
