My team on the other hand used mechanum this year and we were very pleased with the result. We were able to weave around defense (atleast when our PWM's were connected). Also, the strafing helped us line up with the pegs.

All in all, teams that have had bad experiences w/ mechanum may forsake it, and teams with better experiences will probably stick with it. Due to the complexity and the relative novelty of mechanum, more teams have had bad experiences with mechanum, or better experiences without mechanum.
