Nothing against hexes. They're just obsolete on dry rock routes. Cams are faster, easier to place one handed, and cover the same placements as hexes while also having more placement options than any hex due to their continuously adjustable sizes. I learned on hexes. Now they just sit in the closet unless I'm mixed climbing.
I can't disagree with any of that, but I still find use for hexes in rock where cams are suspect because of weakness or irregular features.
