ideologically, i agree, except that HFJ/H&C produce some amazing timeless typefaces and it's really hard to ignore that.

Agreed, they own some of the most well known typefaces in the world. Sadly, their pricing is absurd.

For example, I run a forum with a million daily page views. If I wanted to use Gotham, I need to pay $150 for the font, and then subscribe to their cloud service and pay $450 per month for that amount of page views.

I might be willing to pay a one-time $100 fee to use one of their fonts, or a $100 per year subscription to use any of their fonts. However, $5,500 a year for my site? That's almost as much as my servers. It's a laugh, I'll stick with the well respected free web fonts.
