I don't know about that? As far as I see, it is better in more structural areas like c-pillars (sail panel) as in replacing a quarter panel. I would rather use it for filling/shaping around areas that have sharp edges like door frames, trunk openings, conversion taillights, etc.
I would say that most are against it because they don't know any better. Using it is a completely different skill from plastic filler.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
