I have read a couple of tweets and comments here and there about Loaders being bad and using them is a good way to "shoot yourself in the face". Also commonsguy announced that he will discontinue any work on his library : Loaderex. Commonsguy also said "Loaders are a failed abstraction."
I'm obviously missing something here and I would like to learn more and understand why are Loaders bad and why should one avoid them.
Note: I have created an Android application (perhaps of middle complexity) where I use Loaders and haven't had any troubles with Loaders. That's why it's puzzling me.
I would also like to know about other better alternatives to Loaders. Thanks in advance
