When I was in the RAF (1970-1982), steam irons were very expensive and normal flat irons were the norm. We used to use a damp linen pressing cloth to generate the steam.

Wind forward 30 years. Steam irons have tumbled in price are now commonplace. One step further are the steam generators - now at an affordable price. We would not go back to a steam iron after using a stem generator.

But with all these advances, I still use a pressing cloth. Still linen, but no longer damp as the generator produces 100x more steam than the cloth ever could.
