I won't miss 2.5kHz, though I don't envisage using 0.5kHz either. I find
1kHz steps to be the most useful, thanks to the fact that so many people
nowadays use transceivers with a high degree of frequency accuracy and tend
to pick a frequency with all zeros in the last 3 digits. I don't think that
means we've all turned into CB good buddies either. ;)
