Well, I used to like DACs. Not so much anymore. Some of it has to do with cable organization, and inventory is the other angle. Having transceivers and patches around is utilitarian. Having DACs around is slightly cheaper, but those DACs are much harder to deal with from a cable management perspective. I don't hate DACs, I just dislike the tradeoffs.

I complained about the DAC issue during the Alpha, as I just wanted to plug in the switch to a Juniper MX960 and throw some of the VM load on it. Sadly I ended up having to use short patch cables and fiberstore transceivers, which worked fine. I didn't experience the crashes the author did, although I "whitelist" all my hardware interfaces in my browser extensions... Maybe that was his/her issue, I don't know.
