The problem isn't TV, in and of itself. It's a tool like anything else.
The problem is when people develop with TV and the editors get confused
because their interface doesn't match the documentation that describes
how to do each task. The biggest problem is that, inherently, with TV
each editor interface can be different, which means from a documentation
standpoint there can be no standard documentation that shows editors
exactly how to edit in their site. Having no clearly-written standard
documentation is a "Bad Thing" for any software project that wants to
have widespread adoption by both consultants and endusers all over the
world. :)

On the plus side, since there is the choice to use TV, each person is
able to make the decision for themselves whether to have their BE
similar to the FE. This makes T3 more powerful than other CMSes, and
having the ability to extend the system so that a developer can
customize the BE if they want to is a great selling feature. But then,
this means each developer who customizes their BE may or may not need to
create "extension" docs. ;)
