I personally love whiteboards...but only for discussion of ideas. But interviewers seem to use it only to dock points. "Oh this guy solved the problem on the whiteboard with good syntax but he uses new and delete. Must be a bad programmer." I think docking points on whiteboarding just reflects how bad interviewers are at judging skills, possibly because they themselves suck at self-awareness and skills beyond their domain.
