Traditionalists and Agilists at War
I have noticed that Agile is often attacked for its "limitations". It seems that people try to make a case of why traditional approach is better, point out what Agile is lacking and why it may jeopardize a project. I'm not sure where the whole concept of "Agile will save the world" came from and I truly think that the real wisdom comes from knowing when to use Agile and when to stick to other methods. Agile is not meant for all companies, all teams, all cultures and projects. It can certainly work wonders when implemented correctly, but there are occasions when sticking to old and tested processes is a better answer.
The point that I'm trying to make here is that both the Traditionalists and Agilists should refrain from unnecessary heckling (maybe it's the lack of caffeine in my system making me overly lovey dovey). Understand that there is time and space for all of these methods. It's not a matter of which is "better", it's a matter of which is "better" in your circumstances and what model you fit best.
