If you're a classic rocker then don't bother
Mind, I don't think I've used mine since a friend's wedding about 10 years ago, when they wanted it for the intro to Be Thou My Vision for some reason.
Also, not just for indie kids. Oldie Goths All About Eve used them from time to time.
E-bows are awesome.
Obviously Ed now mostly uses his sig Strat.
This is interesting, as Edge used his infinite guitar on the first leg of this tour (search With or Without You Washington 1992) but switched to Les Paul + eBow after Zooropa.

We play House of Love, I Don’t Know Why I Love You and it comes in handy on the end of that.
