Actually they are available in dimmable form, usually more expensive,
and they won't dim as far as an incandescent.

Personally I've never been much into dimming lights, I simply choose a
wattage appropriate for the task at hand. But then, I'm not a fan of
much light anyways, so I rarely have many lights on to begin with. At
night when I'm awake there are usually two lights on, my bed lamp, and a
lamp in the living room.
