I love them too. But I think you're missing the point. My comment wasn't simplu about the brushes, but about the general mindset most artists have about materials--always use the traditional--rather than experimenting with new materials and technologies.
While I agree that if it isn't broken it doesn't need to be fixed, I'd also say that healthy curiosity is what got artists from egg tempera on panels to oil paint on fabric. So why not at least try new things, even if it's just for study? Seems a no-brainer to me.
