well the difference is that you know how / when to use them properly.

personally i avoid them *usually*, but i think it's probably good to
encourage people not to use them in general. until they have a situation
that actually calls for a CNAME, or have an understanding of the
implications of using one.

errors involving CNAMEs are very common, so while it's well and good for
you to use them (where appropriate), i personally think it's best to
suggest that people avoid them.
