In a similar vein to the discussion of bards wearing plate and other
aspects of roleplaying, are there other hardheads out their who would
rather drown than use /loc and numeric coordinates?

Personally I consider /loc a debugging command and a roleplaying
abomination. I refuse to deal with it. If we are to have such a pin-point
locating and finding capability, it should be a proper in-game mechanism,
not a computer programming artifact.
