The proper place for CFLs, working or not, is a well-sealed toxic storage 
facility. Have you ever broken one? Clean-up of mercury dust is dicey at best. 
Having suffered through that, I don't want the stuff anywhere near my kids or 
pets again.

Hopefully, cheap LED bulbs will lay to rest fluorescents of all types. You can 
even get LED replacements for tubular fluorescent bulbs now. The LED 
equivalents brighter and have a warmer color. Once Home Depot replaces all of 
their ceiling bulbs with these, their display of new LED bulbs will look even 
better.
