I live in an apartment, or as the complex calls it, a "towne home." I simply don't have what it takes - an outdoor water faucet, a hose and a large outdoor area - to maintain many mounted orchids. I do have one that is minimally 'on a stick' - more a net pot, really but Andy's calls it 'on a stick' - and it needs to watered about as often as my fuchsias, so caring for it isn't much of an ordeal (plus I adore the plant). If I could, I'd love to try mounting some, mostly because they look so beautiful that way (made4engineering's comes to mind, along with many, many others!).
