And I don't understand why so many people hate them. My house is full of them now that they are cheaper. One outside has been burning 24/7 for three years now.
So what's the big deal?

Ugly cold blue cast light. They have become much better than they once were. I hate tube lighting in stores because I'm sensitive to the 60Hz cycle rate. It is bad enough that I routinely leave the store if they have unfiltered fluorescent tubes. The CFLs are much better. I like Verilux full spectrum work or task lights, but much prefer incandescents for ambiance lighting.
Government regulation here is just another symptom of our overbearing goveernment. I'd much rather deal with the increased polution of a coal plant than the chemicals used in widespread CFL and LED light manufacture.
