No need to hide. I haven't used an all-season tire in nearly 20 years and unless things change radically, never will again. In fact, winter tires are getting better all the time and I don't see all-seasons advancing at any fast pace. It seems that manufacturers have been spurred on by the awareness in winter tire usage to put lots of R&D into their winter tires, and that is GREAT news for all of us.
When I lived in the Yukon, I ran snow tires, and they looked alot different than they do today. Big, lugged beasts of tires they were. Looked hilarous on my little Civic, but they worked. When we moved to Edmonton back in the early 80's I was convinced to try all-season tires since we would be driving in the city all winter. Whooops! After a few frustrating winters, went back to winter tires and haven't looked back.
