why does everyone hate 4X8 layouts?

I currently have a 10x12 U-shaped layout, but once I move I will probably go against the popular wisdom and build a 4x8, quite possibly following the basic structure of MR's latest project layout. I really like the portability of a 4x8, the simplicity of the benchwork, and the chance to do some scenery that has real depth. The nice thing about the current feature layout in MR is that the track plan includes interchange tracks at both ends, so if I ever do decide to build a bigger, more open layout, I can integrate it very easily.
