Death of the wooden humi

with technology moving as fast as it does these days, I was wondering if you guys thought that the days of wooden humidors are starting to come to an end. I mean, with all of the great options these days that dont involve wood, unless of course you want to add it(coolidors, wineadors, ect), and the humidification devices have come leaps and bounds lately with beads and cigar oasis's and whatnot, it seems that the days of wooden humidors and startin to slow down. For instance, I have a desktop that I only use now a days to dry box cigars. Everything goes into the coolidor these days for me.

Now obviously there are guys that love the look and smell of wood, and there are the guys who love some fine lookin furniture or want walkin humi's, and the old school guys who will only use wood, but I feel that there are alot of guys who look at the better options and realize that it is just more practical for majority of us to use coolers and wineadors.

So my question to CA is, have you guys been finding yourself dumpin your wood humi's in favor of other options or are you a stictly wood guy, or a mix of both? And vendors, have you guys seen a drop in your humidor sales ever since people have been discovering other options, or are you seeing sales stay steady for the most part?

just curious what everyones thoughts are on the different options and what they mostly use
