Going against tradition

I just ripped down old disgusting gutters and installed new rainhandlers which are sections of angled levers that wick the water away from the foundation. I got a lot of negative comments from people which surprised me. I think human nature is such that we have a certain comfort zone and way of doing things and it ends up being an almost automatic knee jerk response to react negatively to new things. I love them and will never have to clean out gutters again so I am glad I forged ahead they were also cheaper
