All you did was wave your hands here. What trade off? What subtle disadvantages? What in PoS is weaker than PoW?

You assert these things exist without going into any of them. PoS is very new and complex and there are many differences between implementations, much more than in PoW.

Any dismissal you might have read would most likely been based on a previous version because the latest versions of PoS are quite new.

There doesn't always have to be a meaningful trade-off between different technologies that do the same thing. Is there a meaningful trade-off between a zipped wav file and one compressed with flac?

Jeez, just stop spreading FUD.
