I'm not saying that my experience with SSDs has been bad. SSDs definitely have their merits and the performance difference from HDDs is very noticable. I'm just saying that from what I've seen personally, SSDs aren't nearly as mindblowing as most folks make them out to be.
If you have a need for what SSDs offer, such as higher reliability and speeds, by all means go for it; otherwise though, if all you need is something to store and manipulate your data on, an SSD is a luxury item since an HDD will serve the average user perfectly fine.
Basically, I don't believe that SSDs are the dealbreakers that a lot of people say they are.
