Those are some good reasons. What I am seeing is that newbies drive out to our site and then try to convince me to add a motor when I already have my own setup in use that I am fine with. I explain to them about the nurmerous long flights and they ignore that and go into full detail on how to convert. ...
In lots of things, people automatically assume that doing things the newer way is a superior thing.

I like riding bikes on forest trails. Currently, I am having my fun there on rigid singlespeed bike: no suspension fork, one gear. Lots of people are eager to point out that a Full Suspension bike with 20 gears is the only way to go (27 gears is sooo last year): so much faster, so much more fun.

My take is: "whatever puts a smile on your face...".
