Very true...but when coding and debugging its a bitch......I have nothing against them and indeed, I love em and continue to use them in my apps....just a small note that they are a bitch to remember

Want to stop people *easily* second guessing your record ids in an app? Use UUIDs. Now before people turn around and say, "but you should be implementing stronger security" etc etc, yes I agree, but UUIDs are a nice small step *towards* stopping casual app hacking. ie - its quite often enough to prevent the average user from second guessing your site, and leaves you free to develop more secure methods to prevent the more sophisticated attacks. Yes, admin wise they can be a small headache, but if you've got a nice relative table structure then it shouldn't be too much of a b*tch to debug.
