No, I know people love it, but I don't see the point in adding another kitchen appliance to fill a whole that doesn't currently exist.
What I love about automatic pressure cookers (Instant Pot) is that it can be used as a rice cooker or a slow cooker (Crock Pot) in addition to its primary function. If I were choosing just one, I'd choose automatic pressure cooker. I still prefer also having a rice cooker since cooking rice to go with something in the pressure cooker is not uncommon. For me an automatic pressure cooker replaces a slow cooker as a more versatile appliance that takes up the same space. Of course a slow cooker can be had for much less than the pressure cooker (as long as you stay away from programmable features). To me the extra cost is worth it.

ETA: Instant Pot brand now makes a slow cooker and Crock Pot brand now makes an automatic pressure cooker (Crock Pot Express).

I solved that by buying two Instant Pots. Just sayin'.
