I don't get the hatred towards white boarding during interviews. That's exactly what I do when brainstorming design, general architecture, state machines, explaining data structures used etc. The use of white board in an interview also covers the same topics, when I'm interviewing candidates.

Now if you say whiteboard programming, and that the candidate has to pay attention to curly braces and semicolons and typos, then I agree its not a great process.

So for me, whiteboard interviewing is perfectly fine, whiteboard programming is not.
