Many TC manufacturers no longer manufacture a slide camper that does not require the slide to be bumped out to use important things such as; bathroom, fridge or access to the floor for use as a walk way. If you are a user, which their demographics show the majority are, that goes to campgrounds and other "designed" locations you will be fine. As those users are using their TC's as a end destination use. So, no problem.
So if it is not important to be able to access those aforementioned items, in a conflict slide camper, then one of those campers could not be your choice.
For those that wish to use their campers in all four seasons often prefer the option of pulling in the slide to stay warmer, draw less attention if they are stopping for a short time at the Grocery Store or parked at the curb for the night. So having a camper that can be used easily with or without the slide extended is preferred for those reasons. It looks like the manufacturers are betting one way for their customers.
As for spending time in a TC, that is something you need to decide for yourself. Ask yourself if you are comfortable in small spaces, if not maybe a travel trailer or larger RV would be a better fit. Other's experiences are not always going to match your needs or desires.
Me? I am good with small spaces and most of my working career has been spent doing just that, as well as working alone.
