If they are banning incandescent bulbs then it'll force CFL manufacturer to make better & more competitive bulbs. Bulbs that are small, instant on and with warm homey lighting. Personally I prefer CFL for several reasons. They use less energy and they emit less heat.

I have a CFL in my closet that has the illumination of a 100W bulb, but uses 20W. I love the fact that I can use a paper shade on it and not worry about the bulb getting too hot, but still be able to have bright closet lighting. I love that I can touch a bulb or lamp that was just on because they don't get that hot. I replaced the desk light in the hutch after it melted the plastic casing on the top of my monitor.

It took a little bit of trial and error, but all the lights in my home have cfl bulbs except for my chandelier an a couple of other ambient lights that have specialty bulbs that I haven't been able to find in a CFL. All but my utility room has warm lighting. I accidentally bought a pack of cool cfl bulbs that are fine for task lighting, but not warm for home lighting, so I use those in my untility room. Just last week, I gave away all of my incandescent bulbs to Good Will. I realized I'm never going to use them and that they were just taking up space in my home.
