Question regarding the Double The Raise rule...

I know a couple of places that use it. I have never worked with it, but someone whose opinion on these things I trust told me it is the better rule and I should consider switching.

Did they give reasons?

Surely it's easier (math is hard!), but it can really screw things up if you're trying to get a shorty to push after you so that you can re-raise. But in most cases, a min re-raise makes no sense anyway.
