Hear hear. Rakes can be more efficient[0], provide an upper-body workout, minimise impact to the environment, make next to no sound, cost almost nothing, and provide a relaxing experience if you know how to embrace it.

I suppose these days people take techno-efficiency over all else to the point of ruining the environment, other people's peace, their own air quality, their own wallet, and so on, all so that they can blow the leaves off of their lawn in a supposedly shorter time or for slightly less effort.

Slightly less effort? Have you used a leaf blower before? It’s a 30 minute to 3 minute sort of difference.
