I have been all over the bay area and I agree there's a lot to see.
But again, I was referring to someone who's never been before. There is more than enough to do in the city if it's your first visit, unless it's a long one as you suggest.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would buy the crap they sell in the warf, but again, I wasn't talking about that, people watching or over priced hotels / restaurants. I was strictly referring to the piers and the tour around the bay by ferry. Being on the water and looking back on north San Francisco is one of the more picturesque things in the area.
I actually took that ferry tour again last June after I bought my iphone 4s and put together this little clip of 48 hours in SF when I was passing through town:
