This was the reasoning behind me buying one, but after a few nights in it I well and truly decided ground camping was 'better'.
It's insanely comfortable, however that wasn't enough of a trade-off for the increased pitch time(not that I was practiced in it), not much fun in proper wind, the aforementioned mat problems, and the pack weight/size.

I'd carry my non hammock setup too, incase no trees. So MLD event bivy, thermorest neo air x lite and sleeping bag. Hence wanting a light hammock. I did have one at home before and lazing and afternoon away in it was always a delight.
