I just don't mind to keep the same 2-3 bread n butter maps in the pool for now.
FS's features just feel standard to me, that's personal, too. Has to do with when I picked up the game. I like Sylphid, but the lack of ramps, the 3rds' placements, the 3player-setup... not my idea of a standard BW-map.
So, I don't feel that FS or CB are outdated/outplayed, we just differ in opinion here. Many sports are played on the same kind of playing field forever... Some people want changes after a while, some don't.
But even "by my logic" I would not have to want LT and Python - because those are clearly imbalanced, on a whole different scale than FS might be slightly imbalanced. I consider FS to be the so far last of these maps that might have played a central role, so it has a special standing in that line at this point.
And as far as the doubtful balance of FS and decreasing use in pro-play is concerned: That is one argument, but another is that simple/standard macro maps make it easier for newcomers to figure things out. I came to BW in 2011 and was really happy that 90% of the games in the next 5+ years were played on FS, lol.

FS is horribly imbalanced for zergs lol.
