One problem is that the users aren't aware of the consequences posed by chosing
which protocol to use. Specifically when there's a choice between the two.
There's a lot of Fritz related and an increasing number of Arena "UCI contests".
Quite a few engines have problems with pondering and/or learning with UCI, which
means that one engine becomes two just due to the protocol choice. I'm sure that
there are more or less complicated solutions to the learning issue and that the
pondering problem is neglible. Even so, I think it's a problem if inferior
performance is chosen out of convenience. Especially since every single Elo
point is treasured like gold.
