Summary: EFHW can be useful in QRP temporary uses in the field, but is generally to be avoided in fixed home set ups with other types of antennas to be favored (dipoles, ground planes, verticals, quads, etc).

I now question the validity of that statement: EFHW are in many cases a great solution to antenna, and I believe the resonant EFHW won't have too much RF on the cable which can't be tamed with a line isolator (RF choke). There are several good videos on this subject on Peter G3OJV YouTube channel "Waters & Stanton".
