water flossers or regular floss—what's your pick?

"Technique matters though; if you're not thorough, I can see why gums might feel better with a water flosser."

Yeah, totally agree with this. I've been flossing the old-school way forever, and honestly, it took me ages to get the hang of doing it right. My dentist mentioned water flossers last visit, and I'm curious... but like you said, counter space is tight and I'm not sure I wanna spend that much on something I might not even like. Guess I'll stick to regular floss for now—cheap and simple works for me.
