Pancakes: Scratch vs. Mix

So, I've had many a discussion about the pros/cons of pancake mix with various people. I am a fan because it makes my life a bit easier and isn't very expensive. But you wouldn't believe the lectures I've gotten from people about how it's more expensive and doesn't taste as good. So apparently, people have strong opinions on this subject. I therefore found an article in Bon Appétit's blog, titled Is Making Pancakes From Scratch Worth the Effort? very interesting. The final analysis was that they taste the same, cost the same and scratch takes more time - so you might as well use mixes.
