Who doesn’t use them ? the only user of a standing desk that I know besides me (got it two years ago now) was a coworker, a programmer who used it on the daily. I don’t see why you wouldn’t use it, it’s so much better in practice. Perhaps you need to have experienced long hours at the desk in an intensive IT role before you jump. That’s certainly what drew me to get one

Because sitting takes less energy, standing muscles are underdeveloped, and constant back pain is just the 8th natural wonder

It’s true. When I get lumbar pain, I shiver thinking of the lush hanging gardens of Babylon. When my tailbone gets crushed by hours upon hours of sitting, I remember the might of the Temple of Diana and think myself lucky to even sit next to her -figuratively.
