Agreed.
My point is with this thread was that I find steel a better more comfortable ride, steel is less likely to completely fail when it cracks and TBH I find them more attractive. Ally frames don't have some of the beautiful lug work etc., like some fine steel frames do.
BUT this is my own opinion

Steel is real yo!
I had Aluminium MTBs, then got some steel dirtjump bikes, ending with a single speed steel jump bike. That experience turned me onto both steel and riding singlespeed, and I haven't bought an aluminum bike since. And as everyone is pointing out, aluminum does not necessarily equal lighter.
