This is a debate that's been had dozens of times on our forums; I'm kind of surprised you've never seen the discussion before.
Some people feel that they offer an unfair advantage and/or playing with one isn't "real poker". But the big issue for most people is that they allow people to more easily play multiple tables, and the thinking is that this leads to a lot of so-called "HUDbots" to play a boring style on a ****load of tables while draining money from the fish - I think the feeling is that this is bad for the games.
But as I said, this debate has been had many, many times before, so there's probably no need to redo it again here.
