It is kind of like debating whether automobiles or bicycles are the better form of transportation. Sure, a bike is easy to learn to use, its faster than walking, and you don't have to constantly pump gas into it, but it'll take you a lot longer to get to your destination. It takes a lot more work to learn to drive a car and get your license, but once you do it you'll be getting around a lot more sufficently. There is a reason why very few of us know anybody over the age of 16 who still rides their bike to work.
