I'd sooner have one of those oilcloth coats than a nylon/goretex rain cape, unless you're talking bout one of the wool capes then thats a whole different story. Wool is always a good idea.
The old ways are still the best.
Ultimately I want to take the nylon cape I an getting and use it as a template to make one out of oilskin ( same cloth as Aussie dusters). Damn near indestructable.

No way I'm wearing a $700 wool cape around the campfire with bug repellant, an army of 7th graders and all mother nature can throw at me. Would ruin it inside of five minutes..
