What happened to real redstone?

[Frontrider]

Command block require different knowledge then normal redstone.From 1.7 knowing commands not enough you need more inner knowledge.But thats not make you capable of making complicated redstone stuff.
But well, command blocks are more visual so they more popular.(but still not too mutch people does it)
I never build ALUs before,but i worked with data stored on redstone, and also tried different "platforms".As i tried to explain it... Well,Theres only one player on our server who understands what i'm doing.
