Actually I used to be a butter person and switched to margerine, because I also thought it to be healthier, so they were saying at the time, I agree with the point being made, as long as it is in moderation, BTW you can buy soft butter, but it is never as soft as margerine.

I would agree that butter is best for cooking, although I have made lovely scones with my margerine and they were nice, personally I use grapeseed oil for cooking when possible, it makes lovely muffins and cakes and is one of the good oils like olive oil.
