For certain types of nailers for certain types of people this is great advice. For a woodworker needing an 18 gauge narrow crown stapler who already has air in the shop, I don't agree. This tool's battery counterparts are much larger, heavier, more expensive, and less reliable. If you need jobsite portability maybe it makes sense for you to make the tradeoffs, but for shop use on an assembly tool, I'd go with this one. (Full disclosure I sold my Milwaukee cordless one and bought this about 1 year ago and have no regrets)

I did and now I'm moving back to pneumatic tools. Unless you get one with a rechargeable gas cylinder, you'll eventually need to completely replace the entire tool to make it work again. I've already been burned twice by my expensive, battery powered Milwaukee nailers.

Vast majority of battery powered nailers have non-rechargeable gas cylinders inside of them. Once the seal fails, and it will, the gas will leak out and your nailer will stop working. That's what happened with my Milwaukee ones. I tried getting it fixed, but Milwaukee wanted more than $200 per nail gun. It was literally cheaper to just get pneumatic Metabo nailers to replace my broken ones.

I have 4 Metabo HPT pneumatic nailers, including this one. I think they're fantastic, but I also have two Metabo HPT (Hitachi labeled) brushless nailers with the rechargable gas cylinder. Bought the $40 adapter and service both of them myself (Gradually, they stop sinking nails reliably). Funny enough, and this should be obvious, you need a compressor to refill the cylinders. After ~6 years, both guns are still sinking nails like they did when they were new. Even the O-rings can be replaced as needed.

I use battery/ pneumatic about equally. I think just about everyone prefers the ergos of pneumatic, but it's hard to beat walking around with a battery nailer for small jobs and punchlist work away from the shop.

They both have their uses. I like the pneumatic tools when I don't want the weight of the battery. I also find pneumatic tools to work a bit better on some tools over the cheaper line of battery told (eg, ryobi)

Lowes has a bunch of the staples on clearance.
As always, with in store stock YMMV
