I was not arguing its popularity, I was arguing its added complexity, which is negligable. None of my equipment that is doing NAT requires any special configuration to enable TCP. Maybe old equipement but I don't have anything less than a year old. I don't see the benefit outside of extremely low-latency game requirements of data that is constantly changing anyway. For REILABLE file transfer it gets complicated quickly which is like the othe person implied that if you are re-implementing all the TCP features in software over UDP why do it. I don't buy the NAT arguement as enough of a reason to justify the complexity. -- If you don't know what you want, you probably need a nap.
