Most of the "I hate Haml" arguments can easily be solved by use of filters (e.g. :markdown, :textile, :javascript, :plain, :erb, etc) and/or proper use of helpers or cells (I prefer cells).

The things I most often see people doing wrong are trying to format body text with Haml and putting excessive logic in your Haml templates (which is something to look out for anyway, even if you use erb, slim, or whatever).
