Charlene and I swapped out a majority of our incandescents for those double helix-looking flourescents several months ago, and I really can't tell the difference in the lighting. I'll have to ask her if our electrical bill's gone down in a noticeable way, though.
The best part of our little conservation attempts? JCP&L offers a program where you can spend a little extra per kilowatt hour to have your power supplied by alternate fuels. We chose a combination of wind and biomass. So I get to say that our house is lighted by poo gas, which delights my inner 8-year-old. :-) Regarding the elimination of the incandescent, it's my understanding that they're not likely to really go away any time soon because there are certain things the flourescents can't currently do because of size and design constraints. Maybe LEDs can take incandescent's places eventually in chandeliers and the like?
