About X-Controls... :-D

For sure, this must have been debated here over and over... but : what are the reasons why X-Controls are banned ?
It is because :
- it's bugged,
- people do not understand their purpose, or philosophy, and how to code them incorrectly, leading to problems.

They aren't banned. They are just very hard to debug when they don't work and have some unintuitive behaviours.

I have Toolbar and Tab pages XControls that I use all the time and there is a markup string xcontrol here. If you are a real glutton for punishment you can play with xnodes too
