You must be near a different woodcraft than me. They are so cranky in mine. I so want to love the store, but after they were yelling at a customer for having a coupon one day I've never gone back.
Ours is awesome. They are always there but not annoying and have always helped when I have a question. That is why I went in store instead of buying online.
Carbide is probably an order of magnitude more DURABLE than any steel for cutting tools.
However it is a bit more expensive (both because of the material and the process of bonding it to the bit) than steel blades. As mentioned by others, there are different grades of carbide and not all carbide is equivalent. Carbide is brittle and can still chip.
It is very difficult to sharpen carbide, and even if you do try you will (almost) never be able to get it as sharp as a factory edge, or as sharp as you can get a steel blade. Steel blade is pretty easy to sharpen with the right hone, and doesn't take too long.
For casual woodworking steel bits are completely worth it, bits may need occasional sharpening when they seem to be getting dull.
If you're cutting something very abrasive, very hard, or working a high-volume shop you probably want carbide, but then you wouldn't be asking the question!
Now if you're drilling "precision" holes, i.e. to a particular depth and length to use in dowel joints, then yes, a using a drill press is the way to go. Or, if you're drilling at an angle (vs. straight in), then you need a drill press for sure. And forget about any of that with a spade bit!
