These kinds of judgements-wrapped-in questions always come off as a bit sophomoric. It's like an artist asking, "why do some painters still use oil instead of colored pencil? Pencils are erasable, and so much easier to work with. No nasty fumes!". Or an architect-in-training asking, "Why use concrete and steel to build skyscrapers? They have so many constraints, and are so ugly, and hard to work with." I appreciate an iconoclastic spirit, but not one based on ignorance.
