It's not about style, it's about ease of detection and circumvention. The marginal cost of using tools that don't have the flaws of a userland DLL injector is zero.

It's not. Every time you use a tool its an opportunity for it to be detected and if you are going to lose one it would be better for it to be one that you don't care about that much.
