Sometimes I wear gloves, sometimes not.
There are days where I can ride around in temps down to 40 degrees without gloves and be perfectly comfortable. No gloves makes it easier to get food, fiddle in my frame bag and take photos and use my phone. I spend a ton of time outside so I end up pretty well cold adapted by the middle/end of winter. Often I'll ride in just a light pullover and t-shirt with shorts down to 35 degrees or so.
In the summer, I lose a ton of heat through my hands so I often forgo gloves unless I'm racing my mountain bike where the tackiness allows a lighter grip on the bars and lets me ride with less fatigue over long periods of high intensity. American football wide receiver gloves are just about the best for this.
