I guess that most of the anti-QFE contributors don't have display authorisations. The vertical limits are all expressed in heights in "CAP 1724 Display Standards Document". Converting altitudes to heights several times in an aerobatic figure is probably not good for a display pilot's health. Yes, the need to set QFE is not necessary for most regions of flight - but for some activities it makes more sense than QNH. I'm sure contributors can find other examples where QFE is the safest option. Not all flights are take off - cruise - land.
