What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers?

I'm interested to hear your thoughts about the benefits of modern day soundbars compared to the days of surround sound speakers and other inventions.

For me personally, growing up in the surround sound era, it was a neat little thing to have surround sound to show off to people when they came round to watch a movie or tv show. However, I think nowadays soundbars are my personal preference purely because of a lot less clutter and also multi functionality with the fact a lot of them can also play music etc through bluetooth. 

What do you guys think? Do soundbars create enough of a room filling audio for your tastes?

I have both, each in a different room.

Soundbars  "work" in that they improve on the tinny sound produced by internal TV speakers and are comparative compact, fast installation, and thus convenient add-on as an initial step up from the crap cheap TV internal soeakers 

However, soundbars simply don't compete performance-wise with a quality build 7.1 surround system.... not even close.... full stop.
