I checked out some e-drums at Guitar Center this last weekend. I was considering buying a set to trigger responses in Superior Drummer, rather than writing MIDI notes manually. Still not sold on it, though I do see the value in that human feel.
That's what I've been doing for the last couple of years. To me, it's the best of both worlds. You get the natural accents and feel that a human being produces when playing a trap kit, and you get the edit-ability and flexibility of MIDI and samples. Heck, even a velocity-sensitive MIDI controller keyboard or drum pad is better than clicking away at a piano roll grid for hours on end. I don't miss that shit even one little bit. Putting up with my barely mediocre drumming on an e-kit is still better than spending an evening staring at a grid, trying to second-guess how a drum fill should be assembled from scratch.
