Are rigid-analytic spaces obsolete, since adic spaces exist?

Recently in a seminar the following question was raised and, despite my familiarity with theory, I couldn't come up with a good answer: Are there any good reasons to use Tate's theory of rigid-...

Why are there three kinds of non-archimedean geometry?

It may seem silly to ask "Why are there three types of non-Archimedean geometry?", that would be like asking why there are three (and even more) different Weil cohomologies. So I have to ...
