Mecanum vs Treads

[Dumper FTW 435]

I didn't know there was so much hate for mecanums

I would like to say that my team used mecanums quite effectively in 2011 and we were able to get it to work near perfectly without dealing with weight issues or most of the other issues people claim mecanums chronically suffer from. Of course, I think 2011 was a better year for mecanums for this year, but after seeing both treads and mecanums work well, I don't think we should just dissmiss one or the other without seriously considering them. I'm more curious about specific things this year that would suggest treads over mecanums or vice versa, I think the general pros and cons of treads vs mecanums are already well established.
