Horses for courses! it really depends where you are going. Mike is right-= trees are often fewer and in the 'wrong' place!
Hammocks were (imho) designed for places where there were to many creatures running about the forest floor at night - large and small! and hotter climes-
Pro's
Hammock= great if there are lots of trees-
& great on beaches / where it is hot with a breeze

No real storage so a lot of your kit is 'exposed' outside-
In bad windy rain, it will never be as good as a tent- you much more exposed to the elements- and to prying eyes-
Size- not a huge weight saving ( I compared mine with my Hilleberg)
In cooler climes, you get a lot of cooling - too much at times
If space and weight is not an isssue (in a 4x4) I take mine along
On a bike - I leave it at home
My 2pence-
