I generally use large stainless pans and stuff too, but there are some 
times when you really want to use cast iron.

For example, I always sear steaks for two minutes on each side in a cast
iron skillet, then move them to the grill.  It prevents the steak from 
drying out and helps seal in the flavor of the sea salt and black pepper
rub...

I guess I won't discount it just yet.  But linoleum sure sounds easy.  :)
