I am not aganst them, and indeed Tom Kellogg of Specturm Bikes is in the process of making me a 30th Anniversary racer. If you only have one bike, however, a Hilsen or a well thought out Rando would probably serve you better. That is, if you ride as much and for as many different reasons I am guessing BFD (and you, Steve and most everyone else posting here). Granted, San Francisco has some unique terrain and plenty of mass transit and walking options.
