Why, in the world, do wooden houses even exist. Lets see:
*They are flammeable (duh).
*They are wasted resources that could be used in pretty much any other crafting stuff.
*While wood is not exactly hard to get, its a bit tedious. At least, more tedious than Cobblestone is.
*Overall they are pretty useless aganist explotions, too .
With this, I mean, whats the whole idea behind wooden houses? ITS NOT PRACTICAL!!!...I fail to see a SINGLE pro on those houses...
About the ONLY good thing is than Wood is a renowable resource. But, then again, so its Cobblestone... I just dont get it. And about the only time I used it was back when I was a noob and I didnt even knew how to get Cobblestone. I figured out than Cobblestone houses are better in every single way.
Now, I COULD see a point if, say, it was something like progression in gameplay (Minecraft alredy has it. Wooden picaxe to Diamond picaxe, right?), but, save for maybe your first time of playing Minecraft or in the case of a VERY bad day, I fail to see why would you need to build a wooden house. ALL you have to do its to craft a wooden picaxe and start mining cobblestone... adn then you start it all...
This is NOT a thread flamming those who prefer wooden houses. I just want to know WHY.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Added a poll according to the core of the thread.
Aesthetics.
Wood looks pretty nice, cobblestone is meh. (in my opinion)
If we go by your logic, why make your house out of cobblestone when you can make it out of obsidian?
Build an obsidian cube then. The point is that it looks like crap.
Actually, obsidian cubes look pretty spiffy! Wooden houses look like something a hobo build out of old pallets.

On topic, the reason build wooden houses is because they like the hobo-old-pallet look, and they aren't too worried about the survival aspect of it. Just leave them to burn in a fire in the middle of the night on their own, mate.

Fire And Ice
Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire
But if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice
Most people can easily get mass amounts of wood in their first day easier than they can get cobble. And once you build your house you probably don't want to waste time to destroy it and replace it.
Because wooden houses look infinitely nicer than cobblestone houses. Combining the two looks even worse. Also, wood is much easier to get loads of then cobblestone, aside from cobblestone generators (Which are for the boring and lazy people who don't like exploring their worlds).
Cobble looks like ****, and the only people that don't like wood houses are the people that can't build wood houses. I'll build smooth stone houses, just not cobble. Cobble is hideous. Cobble is good for 2 things, tools, and floors... with wood.

Cool story bro. Please make a thread somebody cares about next time.
In my new 1.5 game i've built myself a wooden house, with a Pine Tree rooftop.
I like the look of it, it's also in a snowy biome, although it seems to rain instead of snow.
If it wasn't in a snowy area, I would have made it out of cobblestone or smooth stone.
I know I have to be careful of lightning and creepers.

But this is mainly at the beggining of the game.
But yeah, we SHOULD go for a house of Obsidian, since its the most resistent material. thebefore, the best in my eyes.
But apparently, its because of the looks... Well, I guess not everyone plays this in the same way. ok.
And if the threat of your house burning bothers you, you could always do the trick I do.
Use half-blocks of wood stacked on top of each other and it's non-flammable ;D
Well, first off, wooden houses/buildings are only susceptible to fire if you are foolish enough to bring fire close to it.
Secondly, all you need is decent lighting around your building and creepers wont be an issue either. I personally like the look of wood houses, and have very rarely had troubles with them. If I'm playing alot and seeing my shelter alot, I'd like it to at least look a bit appealing, which cobble and especially obsidian don't usually in my eyes.
Yeah bro, some people play to design others for adventures, some play somewhere in between.
So you can't really say something is useless because it doesn't fit the category you fall in.
Also obsidian is sexy. Jus' sayin'.

Fact: Cobble houses look like ****.
Wooden houses generally do not look like ****.
Actually, obsidian cubes look pretty spiffy! Wooden houses look like something a hobo build out of old pallets.

- Creative aspect
