    Not everyone. I'm campaigning for the opposite cause.

    "Gambiteers" like myself would much rather play the King's Gambit or the Danish Gambit rather than the Ruy Lopez. One's style will usually dictate one's opening choice.

    I like the King's Gambit... it can cause problems against a well-prepared opponent though. e.g. Fischer's Defence is always tricky.
