Besides the waste, it's exactly the fact that it heats all rooms with the
same temperature air that I find very uncomfortable. I like it that my
sleeping room is cooler than the living room, the kitchen (which often has
additional heat sources) doesn't need as much heating, and so on. 

Individually controlling each room's temperature may not be popular in
North America, but I think it's quite comfortable. (And wastes less energy,
of course.) I don't think you have to abandon forced air to do it.
