Is there any such thing as a utilitarian all purpose shelter?

my all year shelter is now a double rainbow,

i was using it 100% of the time until this summer when i didnt dare bringing it to Iceland and i used a MSR twin sisters.

pro of double rainbow, great for 2 people, very little condensation and total bug protection
cons : i was afraid of Iceland wind

pro of MSR twin sisters : bombproof , weight not so bad, and you can set it up in the rain and immediatly go inside with your wet gear, wich i cannot do with my DR
cons : very prone to condensation, i was happy when there was much wind and ended using elastics to roll the snow skirt to get more air inside.
