I'd agree with that. For many years, I used white gas stoves, but for the last 10 or so, I've been a canister user because they are so simple. The only disadvantage I can think of (other than really, really cold weather - when I stay home) is that you never know how much fuel is left. But, if in doubt, it's easy to carry a spare (yes, it's half a pound. No, I don't notice any real difference carrying 20.5 pounds instead of 20 - if I did, I'd leave my chair kit behind to equal things out.)
