Have you bought an LED bulb yet?

My problem is still that nothing but old school incandescent bulbs look 'right' to me. We have tried many different brands and I always go back to old school bulbs.

Also, I get horrible headaches at work if I use the computer with the overhead florescent lights on. People tell me it's from the 'flicker'. Never happens if I keep my desk lamp on and overhead lights off.

They have other color temperatures, if that's what you're referring to. If you get a CFL with a color temp of 2700K-3000K, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Overhead lights - that depends on the ballast. Older cheap ballasts caused the tubes to flicker at 60Hz, which would be visible. New electronic ballasts operate the tubes somewhere around 20kHz or higher.
(Incidentally, incandescent bulbs will flicker as well - the only thing is that the filament remains hot even while the AC is at zero volts, so it continues to glow briefly, and thus the flicker isn't really seen.)

Actually that does sound about right. I've had problems with Mag Lite LEDs burning out. In contrast, I've never seen a regular incandescent flash light bulb burn out.

You've been quite fortunate. In my experience regular flashlight bulbs burn out fairly often. And the manufacturers make it cheaper to buy a new flashlight than a replacement bulb (cheap flashlights, not mag lites). I've only used one LED flashlight and I've only had it for a few months so I can't comment on the comparative burn out rate.

I've got these in all my landscape lights.

I think electroluminescence will be the ultimate form of lighting. Panels that provide a uniform light across the entire surface. Ceelite is shipping panels 4' x 8' this year.

In the future I could see homes that have large areas or entire ceilings that are the light source. Lighting a room with an even intensity of light rather than a point of light would be great.

Hopefully they're of much better quality than the pieces used in those "limelight" nightlights - after a year or so, tiny black specks appear all over the areas where the backside has a contact against it.
Any EL stuff I'd worked with thus far was nowhere near bright enough to be used for lighting, unless every area of ceiling and wall in a room was covered with it. I would assume that they've made progress in this area.
Life expectancy is nowhere near that of LEDs though.
