Ari - I think that the decision to use a mix is really based on three things: the quality of the product, the convenience of the mix, and the cost. For me, the macroon mix is very helpful. The cookies from the mix are really good (quality). I buy one product, not several ingredients, and with my busy life that is important. Then all I do is add boiling water, shape and bake (convenience). In my area the cost of the mix is not much higher than the cost of the individual ingredients added together (cost). So even if the mix doesn't make sense to you to use, it does for me. To each his own.
