I love flats too. They are mellower, but also seem to have a much more even EQ response with fat round bass and mids where rounds are kind of peaky mid/treble heavy. They are also just nice to feel, I feel like they make you chill out when playing.
I have some Thomastik flats on my jag right now.

Another string thats really nice are the D'addario half-flats which are rounds that have the tops ground off. They are a nice balance of both worlds. I think low budget flats take this route of taking a round wound and grinding them flat, where as genuine flatwounds start with a wrap that is flat to begin with all around and have a silk inlay between the core and the wrap. The flat thomastiks are really floppy and supple when handling them compared to roundswound strings.

Yes to flats on acoustic. I like it as "dry" as possible. :D

I have a set of D’addario 11’s on my Jazzmaster and love them right up to the point when I try to bend that 22 wound G string. I kinda want to try some half rounds since I don’t want to go lower than 11’s, and maybe throw these flats on my lap steel.

Flats on a lap steel are great! :!!!:

I didn't like half-wounds when I tried 'em. For me, they had the disadvantages of both rounds and flats and the advantages of neither. :idk:

:idk: I've never cared for wound g strings on electric guitars... One of my favorite sounds is to bend the shit out of a 29 plain :thumb: fucking hard as string gauge to find though...
