Yeah, I agree. The memory-to-memory + modern CPU power makes it transparent or at least gives it a soft roll-off that IO based swap never achieves. But it's still a hack which too often is used by manufacturers to cheapen on RAM in machines.
As the gas-powered engine people will say: "there's no replacement for displacement" (I wont push the analogy comparing zram to turbocharging but, you know, they both deal with "compression"...)
