Water Blades?

You need to wipe the blade after each pass and make sure the car washed and rinsed very well.

Scratches Paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

they are fine - i use mine to get the majority of the water off, then use a chamois for the rest of the car.
The only way you'd cause any scratches with one is if you hadn't washed and rinsed the car well enough - there is no other reason, grit is a lot less likely to stick to silcone than a chamois!
best to go over the missed bits with a chamois just to give it a nicer finish, you might leave small streaks if you only use the blade.

edit - and to answer the main question, I use mine everytime i wash my car, which doesn't even have any paint swirls on it, let alone scratches that the water blades "cause"

Again, used with care they are 100% fine.

I personally wouldn't bother.
You'd be amazed at the number of cars I've seen that have been treated with lots of care that still have damage inflicted from waterblades. It only takes one tiny bit of grit to be loosened during the rinsing process or slashed back onto the car to cause some quite impressive damage.
Even the F40 we did in the gallery suffered from these
