I think the new found enthusiasm for flats is that people are no longer shamed in to thinking they need to ride clips to be thought of as a proficient rider.
I've found it the opposite. Those who ride flats seem to feel like they have to come up with reasons why they're better.
Personally, I don't get it... I'll run either depending on my mood, although I usually run clips - mostly out of habit. Although right now that's partly because I have no idea where my flat pedals are...
