i think at the end of the day, it's a matter of preference. for some people, they can't handle the large flux of change in temp and humidity with a tank, some have found ways to make it work. for others, the tub IS the way to make it work, or they have so many snakes that a rack full of tubs is just more convenient.

i think i just feel bad using the thing i keep old sweaters and christmas decorations in the garage as a habitat for a living creature plus the black tank trim goes with my feng shui.
