Absolutely, positively agreed! I've been baking for a number of decades myself, and once I discovered instant yeast, I never looked back. Everything you say about convenience, rising power, and price aligns with my own personal and professional experience. The only thing for which I use fresh yeast these days is croissants: solely because our chef de patisserie demands it (and he's the owner of the bistro). Thanks for the post.
