From what I have researched:
- It does not absorb water. This sounds like a good thing, but actually absorbing water is helpful in terms of the hydraulic aspects and getting the water/condensation out of the system.
- It is more prone to "foaming", which basically creates air bubbles, that then compress and give you a soft pedal. I believe this is the main reason it is a no-no for ABS systems. When then engage they operate so aggressively they foam the fluid.
- It is expensive.
- "Hard to bleed". Due to the foaming issue. Not sure if this is true or not.
Boiling point probably plays into it as well (maybe part of the water thing). Dunno for sure. Not trying to start any rumors... lol.

Ok.
if the foaming issue and not being friendly with ABS systems is true, then I can't run it in my Dakota...I've got 13" rotors with 4-piston viper calipers on my rear axle, needless to say, I NEED the RWAL to keep me from locking up the rear too soon. (because of the factory RWAL is the only reason I was willing to put such big brakes on the rear)
