It's not. Any form control is fine provided that it's sensibly[1] handled
in the server. I know that, you know that, most intelligent web
developers know that regardless of whether their server side is java, js,
asp, php, python, perl, a compiled cgi or something esoteric, but some
people seem to have their own unique worldview which doesn't seem to
involve what most of us would consider sensible handling of form controls
in the server.

[1] appropriate verification, validation and handling of data to prevent
injection of potentially harmful content.
