Not everyone likes it for the cost. I like it for a few reasons. first off, it is a multi-use. it can be used for other things. second off, it permanently stops ballooners. it makes you not have to waste 100 sun for every ballooner that comes by. third off, it can hit diggers. sure, Glooms do that job better, but hey, it works. fourth off, it shoots 2 spikes at a time. yes. I get you hate it because the spikes leave after the zombie dies, but that means the Gatling pea is useless as the peas leave the screen, and glooms are useless because it shoots extra times when a zombie dies.
