e4x vs XPath: Which one to use when going with action script programming in Flex?

e4x programming extens开发者_StackOverflowion is native to Actionscript and makes sense to use it over Xpath or any other DOM interfaces. I would like to know from flex community if they had any bad experiences like performance, etc, or any other gotchas.

e4x has been a godsend in many of my applications. It's easy to use and I have seen no performance issues. I have gotten so spoiled by e4x I've started using XML instead of ArrayCollections more than I should.

In my opinion e4x is the way to go.
