Generally I think the field idea is more plausible than the particle idea. But I think there are some things that the field can't explain yet (to my satisfaction at least). Why, whenever we measure the charge of an electron, do we measure the same value? Why not one half, or one third of that charge sometimes? After all, if an electron is just a disturbance in a field, why might we not capture just part of that field in our measuring apparatus?

This is of course trivially explained by the particle idea.
