It seems like a lot of people are cooking with poorly seasoned cast iron. Once it is actually seasoned, you can wash with soap, scrub it, store it without oil, and cook eggs in it without sticking. Poorly seasons pans are hard to clean, rust easily, and are a pain. I think modern cooks use lower heat and less oil, so are less likely to get a good seasoning.
