I wouldn't say we had issues, but we definitely didn't use commands this year. They overcomplicated the small tasks and made the more complicated tasks very difficult. Especially where we needed more time resolution than whatever cycle the commands were on. The compile time for that many objects was hard to stomach also.

Our 2013 code is up here if you want to see how we inplemented commands:

I guess we are using commands one place this year, dashboard buttons. We have two or three things we need to do infrequently enough that don't need to be accidentally pressed on the joystick. Commands make that very easy.
