I have CFLs in most lamps and fixtures in my house. I can't stand their colors (not all are the same which annoys me too...), so in my preferred reading locations I still have old fashioned bulbs. I also use lower wattage bulbs in places I can't physically fit a CFL (though I've found some that are ALMOST small enough to fit...). Most CFLs need a bit of time to "come on" fully, so are great in areas that need to stay lit longer. Such as, my front outdoor lighting. I do use regular tube flourescents in my garage. I've tried a variety of bulbs but still prefer the "soft" white to cheaper bluer bulbs. Cheap bulbs also seem to burn up ballasts sooner as well. The few LED bulbs I've tried don't bother me much except for the color. Never thought to try one in my fridge... Maybe I'll put one in my beer fridge. Might keep my wife out of it!!!

And I am one of the odd folks, sometimes I can detect the flicker in incandescent. Not always.
