Incandescents are going the way of the dodo. CFLs have a bad habit of being total garbage. I know there have been efforts to fix some of the problems with CFLs -- but they started getting hyped a lot when there were *serious* deficiencies (perhaps I have bad grounding or something in my apartment, but I rarely have had a CFL last more than a few months) and, as a result, left a lot of consumers with a bad taste in their mouth. Myself included.

Once the old-school bulbs are not an option, I think many will flock to LED lighting rather than CFL. I expect the CFL bulb to be largely dead by the end of the decade.
