Personally I prefer bars over scoops, no particular reason it's just what I have.

I currently have bars, not liking them much, they're too near the bottom of the key, and it takes effort sometimes to find them. A homing dot is much easier to notice (that's what I have at work). Have not tried the homing dish yet, not really interested in it, either: the homing dot is good enough for me.
And the homing dot is sometimes called a nipple. That's another good reason to love it.
Bars.
But only if you are 21.

Excited for hydro so I can actually test this and figure out my preference.. all ive tried is nipples and bars
personally i like bars more but GMK doesn't have them, so i end up with scoops anyway
Just picked up my first GMK set and it was also my first experience with scoops. You're right about blending in. In fact, when I was putting them on I was like, "oh crap, there's no way to feel the F and J keys." And then I put my hands on the home row... OOOOOOhhhhhh, AAAAAAhhhh. Scoops are nice! I also think they are easier to locate quickly, since the scoop effects the entire cap,unlike the bar that is just at the bottom.
Does this mean that polls are fixed?
I like scoops, but my son can only use nubs, so I vote for both on GMK sets

I think Gateron keycaps comes in Cherry profile (reasonable similar to actual Cherry/GMK although not 100% the same) and their homing keys are both scooped and barred, it's kinda strange, but might work for you.

If he ever absorbs his son, and become one mega entity, Gateron scoop-bumps would work for him, I'm guessing

My biggest pet peeve for these Gateron PBT caps is that they're not actually dimensionally very close to OG Cherry/GMK, the height is about right, but the keycap is ever so slightly smaller than Cherry caps in each direction, especially noticable on the keytop. They're not bad once you get used to it, but it can be very jarring switching between the two.

Creep question: Is that a spin-top base in the background?
Nice!
(Attachment Link)
:)
Yes, the base is a foreverspin but pretty unusable, I really like the base you have, where is it from?
The lambda is both impressive, boring and scary, you spin, forget about it, and get startled when you hear a stumbling sound minutes later, so I end up just spinning the titanium foreverspin on wood
Bars vs Scoops is a rotten topic anyway, the war is already won for both sides, so I personally don't mind veering off topic :D

All you'd need is a nipple on them to make them satisfy everyone!
But then no-one would probably buy them ::)

Broke the tie.
Bars win!
Hmm... for me finding them is not difficult for scoops or bars, but after tried scoops, felt they are nice to the touch, that is allprefer scoops over bars ^-^
Why?
I find that my fingers can't distinguish scoops very well, but bars I can find in an instant.
I just got my first taste of scoops with the recent hyperfuse release. At first, I didn't even recognize they were there but now I ****ing love them. They just cradle your tips so lovingly and unobtrusively. I will never go back.Right, right? They felt so noice

wow, didn't expect the vote results to be so even
Before using bars, I was neither by the way, since I don't use a 10-finger style, homing seemed pointless, tho, practically, I've grown to love the bars, very quickly too
Now that I'm so used to bars, using D/SA keycaps back again is problematic, wish they made an alternative bar-like nudge (wouldn't look good tho) - the nipple would probably be too extreme for me, I guess it's another reason to stick to GMK's
I Agree that the deep dish on DSA sucks.

Works for some ...
What is better, a scooped bar, or a barred scoop?

Are you participating in the discussion, or was that just a general observation?
Bars.
Same answer every time this comes up:

"A, B and C walked into a scoop" doesn't sound right.
"A, B and C walked into a bar" does.
"A, B and C walked into a nipple" is a completely different genre of story.
The bars have it.
Scoops feel better, bars are more effective.I concur sir.

my first keyset was epbt which had both scooped and bars.. and dare i say it.. but i liked it :cool:
Bars for the feels.. scoops for the looks

Serious question: is it possible to feel scoops or deep dishes accurately with fingertips? So far I've only dealt with bars/numpad nipples as a touch typist.
According to the poll results, bars are the clear winner.
Can we close this thread yet?
