Lots of people here are arguing about whether LEDs actually look worse. Who cares? Even a modest environmental benefit is worth it. If you want nice-looking light, just go outside - it's free.

Lots of people live in areas where for half a year, the days are short, cloudy, and cold.


Outdoor light is pleasant (to me at least) even when it's overcast. And, yeah, if you live in an area with polar night or whatever I don't think society should begrudge you an incandescent bulb if that's what gets you through the winter.
