The case we are talking about is only about specific persons, in which case they is incredible confusing. It's a shame we lost the plural you, unless you count y'all, and we shouldn't let it happen to they.
For example: "Here is Bob, a builder. They are moving here to find work in construction."
I'm mostly indifferent about pronouns, but I wouldn't call someone "they" also because it's too much like the royal "we". Unless they are royalty of course.
