I bet there were people who were satisfied with steel rims, but a safety upgrade goes a long way.
I have and have had compressionless cable housings in my bikes. Nothing to write home about. There's some improvement sure, but for the price it's hardly a good investement. The only real bonus I can see it giving is more flexibility in cable pull.
There's also the issue that compressionless housing is very picky about twists so it can be unusable with drop bars, and it apparently doesn't always like bar tape pulled on tight (massive drag on my rear brake when I put the bar tape on, no drag with the bar tape off)
I won't be bothering again any time soon.
