- It mixes control (eg. it reads / writes $_GET/$_SET/$_SESSION), with rendering, validation and data storage. (This is my biggest dislike of the package, and I've made the same mistake in my code and regretted it ever since. It causes considerable unpredictability to occur, when working outside the standard operating procedures) ...
- The migration path for QF to custom layout forms (that could be visually designed by a wysiwyg editor) is messy to put it midly, (almost all the form designs I do end up being visually layed out now - athough alot are in XUL these days.)C.f. my blog post about this (fundamentally the same points as Alan makes above).
