Except when it isn't awesome. There are multiple PoE standards. Passive PoE, active PoE, PoE+, PoE++, PoE+++, 802.11af, 802.11at, 802.foo, blah blah.

If they had just stuck with 12VDC and buildings had 12VDC wall sockets everywhere, everything would have been fantastic.

I also had a PoE HAT for a RPi that smoked it. Never doing PoE again. 48V and 3.3V electronics probably don't belong within 10cm of each other.
