I could say precisely the same about standard pencils – you have to constantly be sharpening it if you want properly dense handwriting. Mechanical with .2 or .3 and you don’t even have to rotate it to get a sharp edge.
But the graphite in mechanical pencils break so fucking easily. They were always a headache, and unless the technology has advanced significantly in the past 10-15 years, that’s my stance.
