Other methodologies have their pitfalls as well, but agile is the methodology that many are adopting from the get-go or changing to. As such, it's head is on the chopping block. Developers are scrutinizing it to evaluate the trade-offs. You'll see people celebrating agile as if its the messiah to save all projects, and you'll see others decrying it as smoke and mirrors. I think it's important that people are openly (not overly) critical of trends. It can help people make more informed decisions. The problem then lies with others trying to wade through vocal idiots masquerading as experts and legitimate information hidden in the cruft.
