It all comes down to personal preference.
Before a lot of the updates compared to now, those that played then benefit more today (they have been playing long term already) and have already built up their proficiencies for those skills even before Suff was introduced... I am talking about Fishing / Cooking and Glyphing... now muting was and is paramount to this day because they (those that played when Muting got changed) stuck to it and others Quit.
Okay, when I started around vs 1.15 (maybe beforehand), I NEVER liked fishing/cooking or Glyphing, that is because all of those skills are CONSUMABLE items, I was interested in the Game and finding items that could be Average even... not Sexy, like the threads we have now. So... the time spent on skilling then, and even to this day at higher Ranks, could have been an encounter or more and find a Godly item (Sexy +).
Personal preference, and with the updates came more oriented towards Faster group runs, and a minor increase of prof / exp for skillers (trying to balance it out for those that dedicated time towards the Ranks they established themselves in previously).
One of the main Glyph Hardcore skillers (John ... Labattblue)... I believe in previous posts about glyphing, he has achieved a Rank that does not need to be improved on, and plays both cores now. But, John can answer for himself and his personal preference to playing the game to this day with skilling.
Oh... when fishing, my personal preference is to also Cook, otherwise your fish is handed around, and suff is just a booster skill that looks good (it is good), but takes more time away from gaining items.
