you have less chance of a dimmer going bad vs a thermostat, anything going wrong with a dimmer is user error.

dimmer is a variable resistor, just 1 basic component. thermostat is a electronic device with many components. I'm not saying thermostats aren't superior to a dimmer, but to say you don't trust them.... well they are the more reliable ones actually.
