Is there anything wrong with polling? There seems to be so much hate against it, but there are still times when it is the only way to do things. What is so wrong if you only poll every few seconds?

Wasted cpu cycles? It's a semantically incorrect hack? I'm not criticizing, just pondering...

In what situation is it the only way to do things? And who's hatin' on you for doing it like that?
