S-Controls were a feature of Salesforce that allowed developers to add custom code to the user interface of the application. However, S-Controls have some drawbacks that developers should consider before using them.
A. S-controls are client-side code, so can slow-down the UI: S-Controls are client-side code, meaning they run on the user's machine in the browser. This can cause the UI to slow down if the code is too complex or if there are too many S-Controls running at once. Since S-Controls are not run on the Salesforce server, they may not have access to all of the data that is available in the system, which could result in incomplete or inaccurate data being displayed.
B. Not always cross-browser compatible: Another potential drawback of S-Controls is that they may not be cross-browser compatible. Since different browsers have different capabilities and quirks, it can be difficult to write code that works correctly in all of them. This can lead to a poor user experience if some users are unable to use certain features of the application.
C. SFDC does not support the code: Lastly, Salesforce no longer supports S-Controls as they were deprecated and replaced by Visualforce pages, and now Lightning Web Components (LWC). Developers who continue to use S-Controls may find it difficult to receive support or updates, which could lead to security vulnerabilities or other issues over time.
In summary, while S-Controls were a useful feature in the past, they are no longer supported by Salesforce, and developers should consider using newer technologies like Visualforce pages or Lightning Web Components instead. When considering S-Controls, developers should be aware of their potential drawbacks, including the fact that they are client-side code that can slow down the UI and may not be cross-browser compatible.
