That's kinda my take on it too. Although there are some really well made tents out there. I just don't think they'd have the kind of longevity I would want. They make a great shelter until you do get something better built though.
Pretty cool .... I have always been fascinated with tents.
Always figured a good GP Medium or a good Cabella's Outfitter's canvas rig was the ultimate, but those give me some other great ideas - still, some of the modern yurts are incredible and they only gave a slight example of one of those on that link.
Tents are still viable living quarters in other parts of the world, especially in Africa, the middle east and parts of India.
I lived in one during the coldest part of the winter in Alaska for a week (with a yuck yuck stove dripping diesel fuel) ... they work in a lot of different environments and a lot of different temperature extremes.
