Just looking at them I, as a layman, would see them as a bulky alternative to crimping wires together. Obviously that isn't the reality of their usefulness though, else they wouldn't be suggested.

(No offense in questioning you Peter, I was honestly unsure if that was a dig against malpractice, lol)

That being said, I *do* think that (civil) discussion and/or debate over what is the "best practice" would be awesome!!! As this would offer obviously differing view points on the subject, and their merits.
