Current view on drum scanners?

What's the consensus, as we close 2008?
Anyone still using drum scanners with PMT tubes?
Any particular reason, from a photographer's point of view, why this
technology is still pertinent, or do most users fee that fletbed scanners
have come to where they can replace this older technology?

Interested to hear views from anyone still using this. . .

Thanks

You mean you use a scanner in your darkroom? How quaint!
