The price has gone down. They are still slightly more expensive, but are rated to last years longer than standard incandescent bulbs. They pay for themselves in energy/replacement savings.
Why would you want regular bulbs? They're hotter and use more energy. It takes about 12 watts of energy for an LED to produce the same light as a 60 watt incandescent. I've unscrewed an LED that has been on for hours and it's warm but not blisteringly hot. And you can get LED lights in warm colors that look like standard incandescent bulbs, or you can get ones in cooler bluish daylight hues.
Even better, you can get color changing LEDs and completely set the mood in your home! I love being able to adjust the lights to a low blue at night or during movie watching, or blend of two colors for interesting shadows and highlights, or raise them to bright white to see everything fully. In fact, I've found a bluish/purple color setting that works almost like black light and shows up all the dust and lint and pet hair I miss with the vacuum!
