My personal favorite is that they don't have persistence & would need some version of 'Read and 'Write implemented for them so that structures could be loaded/stored from/to files/streams. The other objections seem to center around the excessive complexity of the BC's making them too hard to use for more simple situations. No real fix for that except to add on some extension to the library that provides for the more simple cases in a manner that wouldn't be at all in keeping with the flavor of the BC's. Hence, there is resistance to the idea of using the BC's as the basis and possibly more support for the idea of building a library from the ground up.
