Could you be specific?  It has worked pretty well for us.  It makes it  
hard to provide software in zip files, but that seems overrated. In  
particular, I recently noticed that it took significantly longer to  
start an app from zipped eggs than from unzipped eggs.  And, of  
course, zipped eggs are a lot less convenient for looking at code.
