They take a load of space, they look like a leftover from the nineties, they take different space on every browser so if you want a precise layout positioning you can&#x27;t, they don&#x27;t reliably report positions or events, they can&#x27;t be reliably scrolled at a specific relative position on every browser and more.<p>I&#x27;m fine with the downvotes, people around here downvote to disagree even if they don&#x27;t actually know what suffering and misery cross browser development is.
