Don't know how you reckon it. They run much cooler so you don't burn yourself like with incandescents. They don't fail if you stare hard at them (or drop them once or twice) like incandescents. But linear fluorescent droplights are better anyhow.
You don't think the're a little .....delicate? I had been using "heavy duty" and or silicone bulbs, which are getting harder to find by the minute. Some of those I've dropped 10 times and not broken.
