I am only going by my experience, as I said some companies I have worked
for will not allow session variables so you are forced to find
alternatives. It's not hard to use client instead of session.
There is a very good white paper that was listed in one of the lists
awhile ago, which I found very good for those who don't know anything
about load balancing etc...
Look use what you want if it works for you, but when you come across a
large organization as I have now many times, have protocols in place
that state NO session variables are allowed to be used. So I guess it
becomes second nature to say not to use session vars, but like I said if
it works for you then go for it...
I used them in my earlier days as well, but haven't used session
variable now for 2 years as there is always another way!!!
