Talking about QNH, QNE, QFE...

I did my basic training in the States and when I came back to Europe I was really astonished by the fact how our authorities are dealing with simple stuff (in the states it was simple) . Standard (QNE) setting only above FL180, so all the G/A-guys don't have to worry about transition alt/level!

Can anyone explain why we don't do it the same way here in Europe?

Who is using QFE (apart from maybe some aerobatic pilots)?
