Another thing I like about my free-standing rectangular dome tent is that I can pick it up and move a bit it if I don't like the location it's in once it's set up. I do stake the tent if it's windy.

Again, there are advantages an disadvantages to both tents and hammocks depending on your needs/wants. I'd hate to be camping in Northern Ontario, Canada during black fly season if all I had was a hammock.
