I agree that gel writes better but you are wrong about ballpoints. It's like saying i don't write spanish so that means it's useless.

Thick gel pens soak through the paper so they're not great and the thinner nibs break easily or they pierce the paper.

Most times you pick up a pen it's to jot down a quick note or number, a ballpoint makes more sense for that.
