==Criticisms==

* Incorrectly used flow can produce some ugly code due to too much in the way of mapping in a single Map operation.

* It is a proprietary language and as such there is little support or reference material available outside [[webMethods]], the user group [http://www.wmusers.com wmusers.com] and a few isolated user created pages.

* Source code is stored as XML, making it rather difficult to use traditional editors, source control and merge tools.

* The graphical nature of the language may give the impression that non-technical staff are capable of writing good code in it. A solid technical background in other programming languages is of great advantage in producing good quality flow code.
