I'm an everything camper, we use the RTT on trips were we are traveling/camping/traveling/camping, etc., which we do a lot of. The RTT is perfect for that and very comfortable. It's NOT for base camping though, if we are going someplace where we are spending a few days without breaking camp, then we bring the pop-up or the trail dome ground tent.
I feel like the reason people get on "this is better or that is better kick", is because they look at it from a single camping perspective. To me every camping situation requires something different, and there are times when an RTT is more convenient, and there are times when a ground tent is more convenient.
I guess all I'm saying is try to look at someone choices from all sides.
