And another all-too-familiar Trilogy of Complaining draws to a close.
Installment #1: In the form of a complaint, ask for other's to agree with you.
Installment #2: Upon finding no one agrees with you, announce you don't care about their opinions.
Installment #3: Upon finding no cares that you don't care about their opinions, announce you don't care about any/all of it (which is adorable because you already said you don't care before, but you've taken the time to really drive home the message that you don't care because - maybe now - folks will care that you don't care).
Epilogue: Declare the whole experience a waste of time...by taking the time to declare it a waste of time (which is different than the time you waste when you refuse to accept the efficiency vector masks gain you.)

^ Yeah mate, that's true. We all suck balls. We have lame portfolios and are mostly junior (add job description here).
But it is all good as now you remembered all about QBN.
Cheerio my friend!

This is fucking ace. Bloke makes thread asking what is the point on vector masks, gets his answer and says 'fuck it - I'll do my thing'
I mean, why did you asked, mr. Geith? Did you actually expect all to agree with you? While you are at it why not starting a Mac vs PC thread...
- Doesn't mean it was a "right" answer. There are many ways to do things, Flashypants.Geith

People change their minds. Vector masks are scalable. That is useful... case closed.

i think it depends on what you're doing... i've found them to be really handy, especially when using smart objects. also, you can select the vector mask, make a path, and copy/paste that into illustrator, where you can then use the pathfinder to make other masks. the advantage of that is that the edge won't interpolate, giving you that weird "trapping" issue on the edges (which you'll get if you command click on a rastor mask and select inverse, for example).

I love emotional arguments about vector masks.
What's more cumbersome than using vector masks is when you upscale a layer (even a smart object) that has a raster mask and you have to recreate it. If you had a vector mask you would have no such problem.

- Ha. I'm just having fun. I could really care less because I'm gonna do what I do.Geith

Yeah, *FUCKING* really.
Please explain to me how it's any more FUCKING efficient than manually editing. It's way FUCKING cumbersome.
And I don't give a shit about whether you think I'm FUCKING competent or not. I name layers and I'm way FUCKING talented, so eat me, junior douchewipe.
