Bringing it more generally, it's a powerful tool that's simple to use. This means it is ripe for abuse by amateurs and fools and from that comes its reputation. It's a shame that dogmas are developed against the use of such things instead of creating a culture of appropriate use. You see it against say php, jquery, and even gof design patterns these days. It's bullshit. Just because some buffoons do stupid things with something powerful it doesn't mean all people that use it are buffoons
