I've got some and like them fine. Took a chunk of road debris in the sidewall of a GP5000 on my other bike recently and had to call for a ride home for the first time in my 30 years of riding. Pretty sure that wouldn't have happened on the Gatorskin. Mind you one epic fail in 30 years isn't the best reason to switch but seriously, there is tons of glass and junk on the roads where I ride and I hate stopping to fix flats.
