Unpopularity of global variables - why?

[Bob Sneidar]

So I am gathering that used at the right times and in the right ways, globals and lockMessages both have their place. What we are lacking is a kind of global that is not IDE wide, and the ability to lock messages and still have our custom properties work. Seems like that is doable. If there is an enhancement request up I will vote for it.
