I disagree. The problem with chain lubes is that it's hard not to put on too much. It only takes the tiniest drop that you can manage.

When I worked in shops I could guess the level of experience of a rider by their chain. Inexperienced riders never lube their chain. Then they go through a period where they're always dripping stuff onto it. YUCK! I didn't like having to touch those chains with my pliers much less my fingers. Eventually riders gain the experience necessary to get it right.
