If using gearboxes confuses you, I really recommend taking a step back, because,

You'd think a single number produced by two other numbers would be comprehensible -_-
Tell that to the guy who asked me "how 2 [sic] tern [sic] fore [sic] in2 [sic] ate [sic]".
I'm sure the numbers he was working with were completely comprehensible but by the looks of it, his own mother couldn't comprehend what he was asking.
Yea, I'm still staring at it trying to figure it out myself. How to rotate blocks maybe? I r confusled.
I gave up once I saw all those [sic] in there. One or two, sure, I'm game. Every second word is one? Oh hell no.
Well not me, that was in response to the other poster not knowing how to setup the gearboxes.
Meh ... why use gearboxes, when with CVTs you don't need to worry about power limits, also there is no need to constantly feed lubricant and they are fully customizable.
Because they don't take a crapton of leather or require diamond, and they're easily made quickly and cheaply for testing purposes with materials found anywhere? 
Then apologies, I misunderstood the direction of the 'quote'.
Cost/abundance of other materials, besides what will you do with all your excess gears? might as well be efficient and use it all.
CVTs require bedrock shafts now.Because they don't take a crapton of leather or require diamond, and they're easily made quickly and cheaply for testing purposes with materials found anywhere?
Still diamond shafts on 18D... don't tell me that you're going to nerf it just because some stated that they prefer cvts...
I have been planning to nerf it for a long time, but was not sure how. It is getting nerfed because everyone uses CVTs to the point where, if they see someone using a gearbox, tell them "use a CVT, it is easier!".
