Don't try to reverse the question, it doesn't do you any good. It doesn't mean jack.
It wasn't that people used swords and then switched to lightsabers at all.
Swords were used by the Sith, lightsabers have coincided with them, used by the Jedi. It wasn't that everybody used swords, decided they sucked, and then went to lightsabers.
Jedi are peacekeepers, do you think they can conceal a 4 foot long sword? Wouldn't you think it's more practical to carry around a hilt instead?
The Sith declined after Naga Sadow, naturally their artifacts would fall into disuse. Plus, Sith Swords are imbued with SITH MAGIC, why would the Jedi use that?
In fact, Naga Sadow used a sword, found a lightsaber, and preferred the sword over the lightsaber, that should tell you something. If anything, Lightsabers became more prominent because sword WIELDERS became fewer, not because the technology was obsolete. And swords and sabers coexisted, not one supplanted the other. Get the facts straight.
