electure,
I don't like them because they have been represented as a "cure all" for electrical fires. Notice that I stated that they may have prevented this fire if the cause was a parallel arcing fault. A GFCI breaker will also detect and clear all parallel arcing faults on any wiring system that is compliant with all editions of the NEC that require the use of an EGC in the raceway or cable. I have stated that I do believe that they will act to provide protection from parallel arcing faults, but I believe that the vast majority of electrical faults are of the series type.
