They only let in the wet if you pitch on a puddle, or pitch the tent badly. Otherwise not. In fact they let out the wet that people walk into their tents. We have never used a SIG, (even in Germany 2 years ago when it rained non-stop for the two weeks we were there - stayed dry though), so I can't comment on them.
As in many things there is a lot of fashion involved in camping (Cobbs/deltas/cr*cs etc) where people just want to spend, spend, spend.
There is a huge thread here. It will give you an idea of the pros and cons.

Topic: Sites and non-breathable groundsheets
BUT this is laid over a .75mm pond liner so I would not be telling lies if I said I was using breathable ground sheets
But they would probably get a little cross when I struck camp
