I beg to differ. Auto-sneak is an especially big bonus for a thief, because when fighting you don't trample loudly again, and so when you flee to come back and knife, jack or whatever, your opponent doesn't see which direction you fled.
Drow are a little better than elves, of course, but I'd personally take an elf over a gnome thief.
