Wireframes

Christina Wodke has posted a some interesting feedback to a Boxes and Arrow's article: The Devil's in the Wireframes. The article discusses how wireframes are often overloaded with too much detail, defeating their point. Wodke, a leading Information Architect, questions the very notion of wireframes:

Is the wireframe an atrocity whose time has come to be booted out of the development cycle? I'm beginning to think yes.

Also, check out the comments on Wodke's post.

My take? I've used wireframes, and found them useful. I suppose much depends on the team you're working with.
