I always equate 'recording to tape' as recording on analogue... pah! Nostalgia is wasted on the young!

I had ADAT's way back when (early 90's).
This was a much better recording experience- the Studer that was in my shared studio space in Basel 2005-2007:

That said, I do remember recording to ADAT a little during my uni course - but even at the start of that in 2003 it was more "let's use these because we've not thrown them out yet". Same with the DAT tape machines and the rack-mounted hardware 1x real time CD-r burner - as soon as computers had enough storage space & decent enough audio interfaces, there wasn't much point in the standalones.
Still, there is something nice about the workflow - I think it's telling that when I've seen old pros wax lyrical about tape, as much of it is to do with the workflow, the limitations, and how simple things like waiting for tape to rewind, having to be on the ball for a punch-in, not being able to simply fly sections about and edit minor imperfections without serious time and effort, all contributed to make everyone bring their best to the session and also helped pace sessions.
And, to be fair, those things all apply to ADAT tapes just as well.
Plus, Jagged Little Pill is a pretty great album!

Paul White of Sound On Sound magazine has used his editorial column to lament the negative effect of home computer recording. Access to countless audio and MIDI instrument tracks encourages the deferment of irreversible decisions, thereby delaying the completion of the Project.
Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch EP took three hours to record and another two to mix. (Four songs, sixteen track analogue tape, many of those tracks almost certainly not required.) B'dum, b'dum.
