In addition to salad, you need more room around you. At some locations at certain times of the year, you won't be allowed the room; at least, not where you wanted to fish. You also need to be in the water, so you are standing where fish would be or are. I was guilty of showing up to a beach and immediately walking into the water to my knees when I first starting fishing beaches, bit it didn't take me long to realize I was penalizing myself. I think the biggest reason against using one for me is I can't respond to a fish that shows itself as quick as I can with a single hander.
