Plenty.

Do I use flex profiles in production - already answered.

You already have. That which you said they couldn't do, you now know
that they can. And that bit where you said they were not flexible (or
flexible enough) you now know differently. No sense in keep bleating to
me about it - those are the *facts*.

I don't have any "inner turmoil".

If you sense any annoyance, it's likely because of your repeated
bickering and challenging over this, which at least *appears* to be
because I refuted your absolute claims about what flex profiles could
deal with; and you making bogus claims about the flexibility of the flex
profile kit - which after examination were shown to be wrong.

Now if you want to keep bickering over the subject, then feel free...

But as to your claims of them being inflexible - you're just plain wrong
- sometimes there's no nice way of saying that. And as to your claims of
them not being able to deal with files and folders - well guess what -
you're wrong about that to. Maybe that gives you some ground to
re-evaluate your current thinking on the subject, and maybe not - that's
up to you. No sense keep bickering against what I've contributed on the
subject, just because it doesn't suit.

As to this issue of performance that's going to be the case whether you
use roaming profiles, or use flex profiles to simply provide user
personalisation of certain parts of the profile folder structure.

Of course folder redirection is usually a better prospect - because it
is exactly that - redirection. When it's too general, or doesn't provide
the granularity, or can't cope with bespoke folders - then flex profiles
can.

Other than that - end of.
