Good points. Thinking of many places I have used a tent, my first reaction is there was nowhere to string up a hammock. Now that you mention it though, perhaps there were possibilities, but I wasn't aware of them because it wasn't on my radar. Still not sure a hammock would work for me better than a tent. An air pad, air pillow, ear plugs and sleeping bag in a 2 person tent, and I can't really tell I'm camping.
