Do you have an actual example of how the code is cleaner or are you 
simply repeating what other people tell you? I've been looking for good 
examples for traits for a couple of years now but it seems that when 
things go beyond the toy examples presented in the papers traits create 
more complexity than they help to address.

Indeed. Correcting mistakes is reasonable too, but both usually don't 
happen.
