I wouldn't quibble with that - they provide some pretty good flying and can handle serious VFR touring as well as most aircraft: I'm off to tour Sweden and Norway in mine this month as it happens.
It's just I've never managed to summon up the religious fervour of the Judean People's Front vs People's Front of Judea type that seems to divide the various branches of the tiny world of recreational flying.
