I’ve been using a steamer for the many years too. I had actually never used an iron until I forgot it on a business trip and had to use the one in the hotel room. While there was a learning curve for me and it took a fair amount more time and work, I found the results considerably better than using a steamer. Also, depending on the material, there’s some clothing where the steamer just can’t fully get all of the creases out. Plus, in a hurry, if you need to put a long sleeved shirt on right after steaming it, it will form mini creases on the arms. It’s hard to describe, but basically a bunch of lines will form from the shirt being slightly damp and warm and the arm movement/bending. I didn’t experience this when I ironed my dress shirt and put it on right after.
