I use Coleman (type) stoves at chilli cook-offs. Haven't been camping 
for yonks. But we did a mix of wood fires (spit cooking and dutch ovens)
and camp stoves - either Sterno or Coleman.

It's more fun sitting around a fire (or even the embers) and telling tall
tales/ghost stories than around an aseptic propane stove. And it's hard 
to toast marshmallows over a Coleman. It can be done but it's just not
the same.
