Surfacing VS regular Features

We have some problems with people using complex surfacingcomings in models that can be generated without using them, any onehave any pro's or con's either way. From everything that I can seeby simply planning your model before you start you can model mostthings with out the delete faces and offset faces and replacefaces, which to me just jumble a feature tree, and most of the timeif you try to make revisions to the model with surfacing commandsbeing used the model almost always fails.
