You've obviously not been keeping informed. That's not the
case
anymore. Check to see what type of paint most houses are being
painted with now..
While I agree with your point, the fact that most houses are being
painted with it now doesn't necessarily mean that it's good, only that
it's politically correct.
For older houses that have been repainted several times it's a safe
choice as well--you don't really know what kind of cheap crap the last
guy put on, and latex will go over oil and stick but oil won't go over
latex and stick.
I need to strip mine to the bare wood at some point--the paint's
peeling but it's not any paint that I applied--the peel is between a
blue layer and a green layer and it's been white as long as I've had
it.
