Although I myself have converted most of my bulbs to fluorescents,
there are definitely places where I prefer incandescents; and I'm
still wondering how much money I'm going to save on bulbs which
produce less heat, when I spend 3/4 of the year trying to heat my
house, and the cost per BTU of oil is pretty close to that of
electricity these days.
Right. In heating season, there's no gain from using CFLs (or any
other indoor energy conservation) if you have electric heat, and very
little otherwise. That would apply to fully-heated spaces, where any
heat from appliances would just displace heat from the furnace. In
basements or other unheated places conservation is still worthwhile.
