They definitely give you that mellowness and also the "thud" on the lower strings. The wound third does limit your bending options. The wound strings also last for ever, bit like bass strings. I buy spare high e's and b's and swap them out when they start to go dull.
I've tried them on semi hollows but never really liked the tone, a bit dead to my ears.

they are great on a bright guitar and will still do great rock tones - not just for Jazz
Interestingly, he has different guitar strap lengths depending on the song difficulty.
I tried flatwounds about 3-4 years back, and didn't like them at all for all the reasons already said.
