I'm old enough to remember household lighting before LEDs and CFLs had the same problem where some of them start flickering or burning out. Some of the failure modes are particularly annoying for CFLs because in additional to flickering the color could change dramatically. CFLs also have well-known problems that LEDs do not: environmental issues and disposal costs due to containing a small amount of mercury, inability to emit at low color temperatures, poor CRI, etc. I also personally dislike the latency they have when turning on, but that's more of a me thing.
