STI is a great technique but usually it adds more problems than it solves: empty columns in the DB, table fills very fast. Having similar functionality in the modules is much better.

Actually can’t images a situation where STI will be needed. And you? Can you please provide an example?

No STI?

Let’s not use any “if” statements, either — too much like a ‘goto’.

STI has a purpose, especially in an object-oriented design.
