I think I mainly object to conferences that sprawl across large numbers of tracks for no reason for great chunks of the event. A partial dual-track _can_ be fine, if the tracks are very well defined, but it's tough to create that shared experience. I'm pretty pro-barcamp, if you're looking for that highly engaged audience. I just find it's best not to try and do too much at one event. Plus when you're doing your first, one track is plenty!
