They should call them filament STYLE lamps instead I personally like them in locations where a normal incandescent clear lamp would be i.e. a chandelier,sconce,or something with a cut/ribbed glass shade or globe
Oh yeah, for some uses they're fine, and I don't have a problem with them as such, it just irritates me when they are called 'filament' lamps, or even worse when someone slaps the word 'vintage' onto them
